Hi again,
Sorry for being so thick on the print dialog.  I guess I just haven't cared
enough to check all the  options in the Jaguar version of the driver for my
printer.  I see now how to do some of that--like the pdf and b/w.  However,
it may be that it is OS 10.3.2 which is the root of the problem, because I
downloaded a classic copy of Rev (also 2.1.2) and it printed without
crashing.  Odd.  Now I'm curious if a windows build under OS9 will give me
Courier fonts on printing.  Will test it Friday or Saturday.
