When I try to print to file using a PostScript printer, the status bar says "Word is preparing to background print the document" and the progress indicator gets to about 33%; then Word freezes. I have to close it via the task manager.

I'm not sure what PS driver I have, but I have Distiller 5.0.0.2. My computer is a P4 with 256 RAM running XP.

I've tried running a file named Q329604_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe which is supposed to fix this, but the problem persists.

Has anybody else had this problem?
