Quark quitting when printing

[Stressed]

Hi
I am printing some color spreads of 17" x 22" from quark, they are ID files exported as eps and distilled as PDF and imposed in Quark.
The problem I am having is after I send more than 4 spreads the program (Quark) quits. I can only send about 3 or 4 spreads at a time.
I am printing from Quark 5 on a PC(windows XP) to a Harlequin rip on a mac(OS9).

Thanks

Could be your spool folder is overtaxed.
