Hi Tom,

I switched the HP Printer to be the default printer and printed without
previewing the document first. The print went through! It also worked with
previewing first. After I switched the default back to the other printer, I
was still able to print. Hopefully, whatever was causing the problem is gone
forever.

Thanks for following up,
Dan
