I am loosing my sanity.

Got a Canon BubbleJet BJ-10e printer a couple of days ago. Seems to be
working just fine - except for Windows. I've just seen that

	UNRECOVERABLE APPLICATION ERROR

once too many. So far I have done some experimenting - even
reinstalled my whole hard disk (along with Windows & applications)
with NO special quirks. No hope.

Points covered so far:

        Windows Write			barf
	Word for Windows 1.1		barf
	Designer 3.02			barf
	Ventura Publisher for Windows	barf

	Adobe Type Manager 1.0		on/off	barf/barf
	
	CANON10E.DRV 1.0		barf
	CANON130.DRV 1.0		barf
	180/180 dpi			barf
	360/360 dpi			barf

	various DIP settings		barf/barf/barf...

	Use Print Manager		on/off	barf/barf

The machine is a 386sx w/4MB RAM, HIMEM.SYS, SMARTDRV.SYS, 4DOS 3.30
(XMS swapped), MS-DOS 5.0.333beta. Nothing special.

Is the driver buggy or what? Is there a newer version available? Am I
losing my mind (yes)?

The crash seems to happen when the Print Manager has received all or
most of the stuff and is kindly considering about giving it to the
printer. After the application is terminated, there is nothing in the
queue. To make it more fun, it doesn't always happen - small and
simple drawings / texts just MAY get through. Sometimes.

Hints, anyone?
