InDesign CS3 won't print

Question

Running IDCS3 on powermac G5 OS 10.4.11. (all up to date) Since upgrading to CS3 I haven't been able to print to my Epson Stylus photo 2100. The job spools then appears in the printer queue with the words "JOB STOPPED" at the top.
If I try to restart the job, it seems to start with the stripy progress bar doing it's thing, then it stops again - either with no comment, or with the comment: "The process "pictwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
Have tried generating a PDF and printing that, but that doesn't work either.
Indesign CS2 still works fine and so does Photoshop CS3.
Any clues.... please.....

Hi there,
Don't use Preview to view/print PDFs. Use Acrobat, or at the very least, Reader. You can set all your PDFs to automatically with Acrobat by selecting a file in the Finder, and choosing "Get Info" (or command + i). In the window that appears, towards the middle, you'll see a pull-down menu for "Open with". Choose Adobe Acrobat (or Adobe Reader if you don't have Acrobat), and then click the "Change All" button. From then on, all your PDFs will bypass Preview and open with the application you chose in the "Get Info" window.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
