Thanks for the feedback; I've been mulling it over all day (the 
printing problem) and I've come to the conclusion that it's likely a 
spooling problem as well, so I'll set it to print directly to the 
printer and see if that helps.

As for th PS file-saving problem, I have a 5.6G scratch disk in a 
seperate partition, I'm inclined to look elswhere. Odd thing is that 
if I save a PS file as a tiff it works fine, but I can reopen that 
very same tif, edit it, and then can't save it. Weird.

Thanks again, Steve K
