help Printing a large picture on a DeskJet 812C with win98SE

I'm having trouble trying to print a large (2116X2212) photo in
landscape mode. I'm certain it is a Windows problem as i get the same
error in both Irfanview and Open Office. As I understand the specs, I
should be able to print in 300 DPI for full color images, so this
image should be just within the parameters for a landscape photo. My
screen only supports 1280x1024x24-bit resolution, and I typically have
it set to 1024x768x24 to avoid squinting. I am running Windows 98SE
and am using the HP DeskJet 810C drivers that came on the CD with the
printer. The actual printer is an HP DeskJet 812C. I have two
installations of the driver, one, the default one is set to use
greyscale by default, while the other is set to print color as it is
much simpler to use the second printer to switch to color. Both are
giving me trouble.

The first error typically happens when I try to print on "normal"
quality
"Printers Folder"
There was an error writing to LPT1: for the printer (HP DeskJet 810C
Color): There was a problem printing to the printer due to an unknown
system error. Restart Windows, and then try printing again

The second error seems to happen mostly when I print on "best"
quality.
Title:
"Printers Folder"
There was an error writing to LPT1: for the printer (HP DeskJet 810C
Color) This function is only valid in Win32 mode".

I don't think the results of trying to print on the low quality will
be suitable for what I want to print. I put the picture on the
computer so I could add a caption. I've tried using Irfanview to
adjust the designated resolution of the photo to 600dpi, 300dpi, and
even 150dpi and I still get these errors.

I don't have a problem printing word processor documents, or web
pages. I was also able to print a much smaller doodle in OpenOffice's
Draw without trouble. It seems to be exceeding some unknown maximum
size, but that max is smaller than I'd expect for 300dpi, let alone
600dpi.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
