I've seen something very similar with printing a MacDraw II document that 
contained a scanned graphic image pasted in.  The problem turned out to be 
Print Monitor (are you running under MultiFinder) not having enough memory 
- when I chose "About Finder" I could see that Print Monitor was using all 
of its allocated memory and probably wanted more.  So I increased the 
memory allocation for Print Monitor (located in the System Folder - choose 
Get Info and increase the memory allocation) & rebooted, and things worked 
fine.   (The first time, I only doubled the memory, and the document was 
still printing wrong, but in a different place).
