The thing is, though, that most of the time it prints OK, although sending a very large file seems to trigger this condition. As long as I keep the file no bigger than 100 pages it generally works OK, but once this has been triggered it happens every time until something 're-sets', at least a re-set is what it feels like. It seems that printing from some other app clears the bottleneck, whatever it is.
