Are you using non-Finale fonts? I had a problem once with that on my Mac

No, just Engraver and Tamburo.
The other thing is, are you using any Custom arrowheads in Smart Shapes?
These WILL break a PDF or PostScript output, in my case causing
unreadable gibberish files to be written. It doesn't matter if the
custom arrowhead is one of Finale's or from an outside font. MakeMusic
is aware of this bug.
To track this down, start with printing one of Finale's default files
with no musical entries. If it prints, then the problem is the content.
If it doesn't, then there is some darker, deeper cause. I tracked down
the arrow problem by chopping my file in half, trying to print, and then
chopping the non-printing part in half and trying again.
Very interesting... it does look like this may be the problem. I can
print isolated pages, but others cause the crash (some have custom smart
shape lines). I'll have to investigate further.
Thanks!
Scott
