James, I would suspect there may be something not so sound about your print driver. Myself and many more have been using it for years and it is pretty stable. Your machine and memory are not the real problem, I have run it on a lot less.
All I could suggest is try re-installing your print drivers and/or look to see if there are any updated print drivers. Do you have a PDF writer? Does it act up with the PDF driver as well? Other printers? Try a virtual (print to file) print driver?
There is an issue when Protel doesn't find a printer it knew was previously installed (i.e. there is now no printer) . I can't recall anybody ever having problems when they changed printers, except for actual printer problems (drivers or just plain compatibility issues).
