    Printer driver issues printing in CS3 and Windows 7

      I've started having monitor and/or printer driver issues when printing a .jpg file from PS CS3. After starting out in Camera Raw, I then open the image in CS3, size the image, perhaps make a few image adjustments. The I go to print to my Epson 3800. I make various print driver settings, make sure my CS3 settings are correct, click on Print .. and then the fun starts. When the Print Preview screen appears, the monitor goes dark for just a moment, flashes once, and then reappears with a black desktop background, with my desktop icons sometimes gone. Some times the screen will flash twice and sometimes I get a message that the printer driver has failed but has recovered. At any rate, the Print Preview screen finally appears and I can print from it.

       

      I running with nVidia's latest driver on a Dell 2407 monitor and I've recently loaded Windows 7 Home Premium (an upgrade from Vista). I can't recall whether this didn't occur until I loaded Win 7 but my best guess is that it didn't happen earlier.

       

      Any one have similar experiences or have a suggestion.

       

      Thanks in advance.
