I've exactly the same problem as you in Win98/ME Operating System.
In Win2K it runs without any problem.

same bug on win2000 server and apache2 (php 4.2.3).
restarting the apache2 helps for the next
30-50 pages.
This bug only appears by printing a higher amount of pages;
for single page printjobs everything works fine.

I print various letters and various forms every day using PHP.
However, when I want to print a mass mailing of 200 letters to
different people, php will error out after printing approximately 20
pages. It seems that the amount of pages that print is directly
proportionate to the amount of fill (verbage) placed on a page.
Warning: couldn't start a new page in
C:\apache\htdocs\print\print_td.php on line 20

Below is a snip-it of just printing out a heading over and over again
which seems to error the same way as my letters do....
I tried printing to a Novell que, and directly to an LPT1 and get the
same results.
