An update- I've never turned of the spooling before-it seems ti fix 
the problem, but Quark Xpress, out of which I'm printing this, 
freezes until the print job is done. It didn't register before, but 
this only happens when printing out of Quark 4.0. So... the rule of 
thumb is, 'the more expensive the software the buggier it is'???
