This is all good advice.   The Paper Feed dialog is the main culprit.  Just
entering that dialog page can set an incorrect value that will dump the
print job -- seems to happen to some people not others.   Just avoid
the dialog page and if you have a Preset with the same problem, delete and
recreate it.

The othe main issue is using Custom Paper Sizes in Jaguar.  Some sizes fail
and some are OK, there's no obvious pattern.  In Panther this works just fine.
