>Does anyone know how I can isolate the problem with this document?
Gwen,
Try distilling page ranges. Try to distill the first half of the document and the second half of the document. One of those jobs should print and the other should fail. Take the bad half and divide it in half again. Keep going until you have isolated the problem to a single page or a pair of pages (if it has to do with an element that straddles a page break). Look at the problem page. Starting with the most complex or finicky elements (like tables and images), delete one element at a time and try to distill the page. If it fails, replace that element and delete the next one. If you can't find the problem that way, delete everything on the page and recreate it from scratch.
Good luck.
