I've seen occasional printer lock-ups with OpenOffice and Scribus.  You have
something "weird" on the page, as I said.  It's confused your printer and you 
will probably have power-cycle the printer to get it going again.

The solution is to get rid of whatever it is that's causing the printer to lock
up.  Check your fonts, graphics, maybe even your positioning to see if you have
something that's off of the printable area of the page.

You may have to experiment a bit to find out exactly what's causing the
problem.  It may be useful to print-to-file and view the page with evince, or
convert it to pdf with ps2pdf and view it with acroread, or both, and see what
you get.
