Gidday Marcia I have no experience with printing in Linux so this is a long shot. I had untold problems with printing just the odd file on the 14 iMacs at our school and it turned out to be 3 out the many installed fonts just locked up the printer whenever they were used. The error messages I got were in no way helpful and it was mere trial and error to beat it. The errant fonts were something like "School...?" Needless to say these fonts have been deleted. Maybe this helps rgds max
