Hi Toby,
I had recently the very same problem, due to my printer driver from HP for the HP LaserJet 5.
I deleted this printer driver out of my system (hardcore solution), and everything goes fine now, that means no crashing anymore, printing to another printer. Interesting: this is an HP DeskJet 820.
I do also release my reports after printing - to be sure.
Do you use an HP driver? I tried different drivers, but all HP's make problems for my LaseJet.
