  I had the same problem today, but in a slightly different way.  I had an
eight page AWGS page layout document I wanted to put into a PostScript file
for later printing on the school's LaserWriters.  I followed my usual
procedure and the familiar alert box with "Creating PostScript File..."
appeared.  After "printing" the first two pages, I got the message "The 
document could not be printed."
  I finally finished my project by specifing the print job in two page 
increments but this was a big pain.  It's been five months since I've tried
to print a 3+ page document on my dot matrix and now I'm almost afraid to try;
although it's worked perfectly until now.  The only modifications to my
system since the last time I printed a long document were the addition
of an Ingenuity 2MB board, and AppleWorks GS 1.0 with the ImageWriter.CL
driver.
  Any help from Apple out there?
