Let's check the routine questions first: 1) Can you print documents from other applications to this networked printer? 2) Does the freeze occur with ANY Mathematica notebook of any size or is it just one particular notebook? 3) When you attempt to print to a file, you say, "no dice." Does this mean you get a hang similar to when you attempt to print to the printer? Does a file of any size get created by the "print to a file" approach? 4) Have you checked to see if you have the correct drivers for the printer installed? If so, how old are they? Have you checked HP's website to see if there are more recent versions that you can download? If these questions all check out, let me know. -- P.J.
