Printing Problem

I have just been printing an Impression document to my ageing dot-matrix
printer by 'printing' first to a file, and subsequently dragging the file
onto the printer icon after configuring it to use the parallel port again.
The Printout file was +/- 100K in length. After about 2/3 or 3/4 had been
printed, I got an error box with the message 'Internal Error: Address
Exception at &038B5BE0'. This points to somewhere within the BASIC module. I
tried several times, with the same result, albeit at very slightly different
points on the page; I tried keeping an eye on the Queue, and it appeared to
occur as the percentage indication (which is wrong, as it counts the bytes
put into the buffer so it is based on 32K more having been printed than has
actually hit the paper) reaches 100%. Printing the same document directly
goes OK. The actual size of the Printout file was 102951 bytes.

Anyone got any clues?
