A few months ago I had a similar problem using XPress (and only XPress;
everything else printed fine). I phoned Quark (the makers of XPress) and was
told that they had a minor inconsistency with the lates Laserwriter software
(I had just upgraded to 6). If there was a consistent cause for the problem,
I never found it. They advised reverting to the previous versions of the LW
stuff until they could send me an update. I did, and they did, and everything
has been fine since. Why didn't they send the update automatically? Not
everyone had the problem. I have no idea whether this has any bearing on your
problem but you might consider the same courses of action.
