I have created a lyx document and converted it to pdf using pdflatex. When I print the pdf document, the HP laser printer gives me an error message "21 Page Too Complex" and some of the pages print in half only, I googled that error and found http://www.printertechs.com/tech/error-codes/error-codes-20-49.php which advices to simplify the print job. My question, how can I ensure my lyx document is "simply" when I convert it to pdf?Haven't seen this problem (and don't use an HP laser), but what happens if you use a different method of producing a PDF? LyX supports at least three different approaches: direct to PDF using pdflatex; through dvi using dvipdfm; or through Postscript using ps2pdf. On the LyX export menu the last one is denoted PDF with no qualifier. In my experience, the last one generates the smallest files, which may well imply less complex page output once converted to PCL.
There have been several posts to the list about the relative merits of the three methods (particularly when graphics are involved?), and I know that the beamer package requires pdflatex, but you might try one or the other two and see if you like the output quality and if your printer finds it more digestible.
