Sounds like you hit the advanced printing bug where the player will try to
generate a 600DPI bitmap of the page, run out of spooling space and corrupt
the print job. Should have been alleviated a bit in 10.3.
Otherwise, the Flex print components have issues, but player printing is
good enough for digital yearbooks.
