Filesystem Full

I noticed that whenever something is printed from my workstation, the available disk space in the /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 decreases considerably. Hence, after using my workstation for sometime, I encounter an error message: "Filesystem Full" that prevents me from printing any further.
Is there a way to increase or release the available disk space without the need of reformatting my hard disk? During the Solaris installation, 741263 Kbytes is the prompted size for /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 and it was set as it is.

The following are the number of free disk blocks and files that I have tracked and saved for the past three consecutive days:
