True, there have been problems like that with SpecialFX. However, I do 
not run SpecialFX or FontFix and I am pretty certain that there is no 
other piece of software running that calls GDraw directly. One thing I 
could imagine is that OP calls something like Draw_Fill with very 
large coordinates or a strange matrix. This could happen when drawing 
the frame background.

Yes, the frame background is definitely involved: If you set both 
frames to Transparent, the file prints without any problems. Set them 
back to White and the error returns. So, I guess that after the 
conversion some internal state of the frame is not set correctly that 
causes a Draw SWI to be called with unusual parameters.
