Glad the fix helped you guys out. Too bad you can’t just upload that beer to me. I could use it right about now as I try to get ready for this school year on time.

Check the latest software updates, I think I saw that the server just had a release that addressed this issue.

I think I have fixed the issue, but can you guys verify it for me? What I did was deny myself access to write to the ~/Library/Printers folder on the server. Once I did this, I was able to print from all of my Rosetta apps fine. I will keep testing this and post my findings.

Not only have I tried deleting the Microsoft folder, but I have actually deleted the entire Library folder to see if that helped-it did not. The only thing that has sort-of worked (and I have not narrowed down why yet) is creating a Library folder manually on the PC Server in such a way that I did not have access to it. THus, when I logged into the Mac, the Library folder remained empty. When I did that, I could print fine. I tried denying myself access to just the Microsoft folder, but I still crashed. I continue to believe that there is either a preference file or something that is causing the problem in the Library folder. As far as anodyne, I wonder if they actually did the Universal updater (Insoiration 8 is not universal by default, they just released a free update to make version 8 universal). I have been working with Apple on this, but so far no fixes. I also get multiple printers listed in ~/Library/Printers just like dmckerchar. I am going to try to limit permissions to that folder to see if that helps.

I might be having the same issue. We have an AD/OD setup that seems to work fine with our PPC macs (printing and all). Our home directories are stored on a PC server. I tried introducing a few Intel macs into the mix (set up the same way) and have noticed that I crash everytime I print. The difference is that I am more crtain that it is Rosetta. I crash in AppleWorks and Office (X and 2004). If I force local home directories, I print fine. Logged in as the same user on a PPC mac I print fine from the same apps. I printed fine in Text Edit, but when I made it open in Rosetta, I could not print once more. Creating PDF’s are fine. For us it definately seems to be a conflict with Rosetta and windows-based home directories. I would love if someone were able to help resolve this issue.
