I don’t think it’s my install, as I’ve installed the product three times, reformatted the drive, and reinstalled Windows XP. Check out the thread at <

and you’ll see that others report similar behavior. I’ve got the same motherboard (Tyan K8WE) as the person on this thread who’s seeing the same issues. That leads me to suspect a hardware incompatibility that got fixed in CS3, but never made it into CS2.
I too use Photoshop for a living, and until CS3 printing is fixed I’m going to need to edit in CS3, and then print the final image in CS2.
