Yes, this does appear to be the solution and it makes historical sense too since the problems began to appear just about the time I switched to Times New Roman. I did as you suggested and reverted to Times. The PS errors vanished - only now both my printers behaved as if the printing area had been displaced upwards and partially off the page. The bottom half of the text appeared on the top half of the page right up to the top edge with the rest of the page blank - something that had never happened before. Barely supressing an urge to scream or take a hammer to my Mac and peripherals I reinstalled the LW software and - lo! - I haven't had a PS error in several days where I was previously having errors in virtually every printing. If this holds true I am deeply in your debt.
Many thanks -
Fergus
