You wouldn't by chance be using Windows 2000, would you?

Usually this will happen if you don't have enough system memory. The system
needs much more memory for large files than small ones. When I upped my
computer RAM to 1 GIG, and gave photoshop 850 Meg, the system wasn't left
with enough memory for a long panoramic print. Giving Photoshop 700 Meg.
solved the problem, as the system then had much more to work with.

This is, of course, only 1 probable cause, but it was mine. You can also
give the epson printer monitor an extra few megs of memory in it's memory
allocation box. THis might help without your system needing more. I'm not
sure about this though.

Thanks Tim & Jerry,

Duh, I can't believe that I did not check that first. I changed the paging file size from 192mb to over 1.5gb and the problem corrected itself.  I must be preocuupied or something, wonder if it has to do with the fact that I have only 5 days left to finish packing for out move. ;-)
