That sounds like the next step if a pdf doesn't work.

Try this:

open printing with dialog
print this card
close printing

In the dialog that appears, there is a button at the bottom that says 
"Print to PDF". Click that and it will print to a file on disk instead 
of to your printer. If this works and you get a successful printout, 
then chances are there is something about your print driver that doesn't 
like printing stacks.

The above script gives the dialog I think you mean. Have you changed 
printers or updated the driver since the problem started? How about the 
version of Rev you are using; did you recently change to the OS X 
version from the classic version? Do you have OS X drivers installed for 
the Epson, or just the classic drivers?
