More memory may help in your situation, but I don't know about ink
text or sketches. I tested printing a relatively large NewtWorks
document today. It was over 2200 words long and there was no trouble
printing. The pdf was 5 pages long and printed in a matter of
seconds. Ink text, on the other hand, took 2 minutes to process 18
words before printing. Sketches are not much better. The problem may
be more to do with processing the drawn text/sketch for the printer.
If that is the case, I really don't know what we can do other than
convert all the ink text in a note before printing and keep sketches
to a minimum.
On a side note, have you thought about freezing some applications
your not using right now and checking if it makes a difference? If
the problem your having is due to memory then doing that may help.
Also, what happens if you try to print a note with just text? You may
be more limited by the eMate's 25MHz processor than by memory. The
2100 has a 162MHz processor, in comparison.
