crashing netscape and printing question

[bdunn]

Can't help you with #1 but my first question re: #2 is:
How big is your printer's memory?  Both scholarly 
articles and graphics are notorious for taking up a
lot of space and if your printer can't accommodate it, 
it just might print whatever it can manage.  

Just a suggestion as to the possible source of the problem.
