The program I use and have trouble with is Wordperfect, but a friend who
uses my SE uses Word on it and has the same trouble. My hard drive has
nearly 10 MEG free on it, and the document in question is about 130 K.
 
The problem described in your reply with Aldus is exactly what happens
to me with wordperfect. It will print 20 or so pages, then stop, while
the laserprinter light still flashes, eventually giving me the same
message that there is printer trouble.
 
The fact that this occurs with Aldus (as mentioned in the above reply to
my note) and also in WordPerfect and Word now has me convinced it is
something about Apple's drivers that the developers indeed do not know
about (since they are apparently secretive about them).
