Crashing with print card

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ken,

I am sorry for what you are going through. It has to be very 
frustrating.
If there is anything I can do please email me.
If you can send me your stack I will be glad to test it and play around 
with it.
2 heads are better than one - sometimes......

Let me know if I can help.

Tom
