I remember a problem like this way back when we used Win 3.1. Seems like the problem is still there…. Is it an OI problem? (I don't seem to get it when using any other app.)

I think it is the same as another problem that is in our SPR system. What is happening is a synchronization error (a blocking one) that occurs when a window (the dialog you described) is displayed out of the engine context (i.e. your code). You need to use the SYSTEM BLOCK_EVENTS property around the print_init call (I think that is the one) until we fix the problem.
