When printing in Cinderella, the printing dialog box always shows 9999 pages to be printed. I don't know if this error has anything to do with the present issue, but there may be a connection.

Perhaps I should have told you that I installed these postscript printers only as software printers. There's no physical device connected to the PS drivers. Still, Cinderella is the only application I know of that has difficulties printing to PS. I just checked again, just to make sure. I have here an Adobe PS printer driver, an HP Color Laserjet 4600 PS and what is listed as a Generic Postscript Printer (I forgot where that one came from). All three cause C. to crash. All Cinderella windows just close, without any warning or error message.

A little bit cumbersome perhaps, but useful as a workaround. I should have thought of this myself.
