There could be any number of reasons why it's not printing.

Firstly, you don't state which machine hangs. Is it the computer or the
printer? Are you sure it actually hangs, or could it be that it is just
taking a *very* long time to complete its job. How do you recover from
this hang - by pressing Escape, Alt Break, or a full reset? (I'm
guessing you are using the RISC OS version and not Windows)

There are so many things that could be the problem, that it is
difficult to say what is causing the problem. Some suggestions that may
be worth looking into:

Large bitmap images or large vector objects causing problems for the
printer - try printing with the No pictures option selected.

Corruption of the document - save as DDL to see if that helps.

Problems with memory corruption - reboot the machine and try again but
only load OPro and no other unnecessary applications. (load OPro before
anything else)

Increase the Print memory in OPro's choices.

Try printing to a different printer (using a different printer def),
such as PostScript or SPrinter and seeing if it completes the printing.



BTW what type of printer is the Samsung CLP550a is it a PostScript
device?
