Close, but no cigar.  The Macintosh preview option doesn't affect the text
portion at all.

I don't know why it's resetting the printer (memory problems, maybe?), but
it sure won't print unless you tack a "showpage" onto the end.  Since
Illustrator documents are designed to be included in other things, they
don't do the "showpage" themselves--they just image the drawing...
