I can't help you with the error problem, but I would suggest 2 possibilities. I use a Personal LW 320, which experiences similar problems with large docs.
Is there any way to break up the pages into smaller blocks? Or, try printing just one page at a time, if you're not already. Can you give the copy to the paper in electronic form? Either as Pagemaker, or PDF?
