I was printing a multi-page document using !Printers 1.62 and RO4.39

"Overflow while transforming point".
Usually this occurs when a bit map contains too many pixels, and ISTR is associated with Computer Concepts software, e.g. printer drivers. 


I saved one of the pages as DDL and when I double-clicked this DDL it
would not load and gave the error 'Unknown object at 116'
Sounds like a bug. Possibly a corrupt document, possibly a bug which I fixed recently (you're not using the latest version of OP).
How do you save a page as DDL? - I think you can only save stories or documents.
I don't think this is applicable in this case, but if you ever have a Draw file which is odd, then loading it into Draw, saving it and reloading is a good way of fixing it. You can do that from inside OP by using the OLE feature, Control+Double click. 


However, I noticed that the size of the re-loaded drawfiles on the
page were now smaller (70% approx) than in the original document
(100%), although there is plenty of space in the frame for them to be
full size. I adjusted them back to 100% and it still printed OK
Usually when you load a picture it is scaled to fit the frame - what is scaled to fit will be the bounding box of the picture, which is not always the same size as the bounding box of what you see. In other words many Draw files have a large white box at the back. 


(BTW, the original document was a conversion from Impression, which
prints both pages OK.)
That does carry a lot of implications. For example the original Impression document may be corrupt, or odd, or the Impression loader may have some kind of bug in it. Again might be worth getting the latest Impression loader.
