can't print a document

[RS...@aol.com]

I am trying to print a text plus photos document that I have  printed 
before using open office 3.3 and am getting an error message stating  that it 
can't open the printer, check printer settings.
I have printed this document before and can print other  documents in my 
document file but for some reason this one has changed. It  appears to be 
stuck on pages 4 and 5 in print preview but will scroll thru the  complete 
document in the text format.
When I close the program I get an error report message  that the program 
has crashed and I can send in a report to you folks which I  have done a few 
times.
Some research in the help area has indicated that there may be  a problem 
with java but that is not clear on the solution.
I have checked my printer and as I have indicated above it  will print 
other documents from this program.
Please help me out here I have used this program a long time  and like it. 
This is my first problem with it.
Could downloading the update solve the problem??
Thank you,
Bob Steffen
