You need to be running MF, but you say you are, so...

I don't know why it wouldn't print.  Maybe you should select it from
the DA menu first and see if it needs configuring.  *THEN* try to print
something (not before).

Also, make sure you have enough free memory, or it won't run (although
in that case you should bet a -49 error dialog).

As for hanging the machine, yes, you definitely want to avoid selecting
it from the MultiFinder application list in the Apple menu, *and* avoid
selecting it by clicking the icon at the right end of the menu bar.
You'll freeze for sure.  This is a bug, I presume.
