A couple of things - Background Printing only works under MultiFinder.
You need to make sure that you have the files Backgrounder and PrintMonitor
in your System Folder.  The best way to assure this is to install your
printing resources via the Installer instead of dragging the files from the
printing 1 disk to your system folder.

When you say the disk "cr*ps" out - can you be a bit more specific?  

Hope this helps...
