Why, after a long session of MATLAB under MS Windows where many figures printed, do I start to have a problem printing?
When printing several plots, there is a depletion of the system resources under Windows, and even after exiting MATLAB, the resources are not reallocated. This happens to the point where either you can not print anymore or the machine you are working on crashes. This is more of a problem with Windows than MATLAB. Windows will not reallocate system resources even after you have exited the application. You have to exit Windows and then restart Windows in order to get all of the system resources back. This can be reproduced both from MATLAB and from MS EXCEL . There is no clean solution to this problem other than printing to a file first and then sending the file to the printer. Microsoft anticipates that Windows 4.0 will do a better job in handling system resources.
