Quark crashes when printing

I am attempting to write an AppleScript that will print a series of pages from quark individually.
The problem is that, when I print a single page, Quark crashes just after the page is sent to the
print queue. I am running System 9.2.2 on a G4 Dual 800 with AS 1.8.3 and Quark 4.11. The code is:

tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
set print setup of document 1 to {reduce or enlarge:"100%", orientation:portrait}
set print setup of document 1 to {printer type:"Jaws PDF Creator", resolution:1270, data
format:binary data, halftone screen:"85"}
set print setup of document 1 to {paper offset:"0\"", paper width:"12\"", page gap:"0\""}
set print setup of document 1 to {}
set print setup of document 1 to {page sequence:all pages, print quality:normal, tiling:off,
separation:false, registration marks:off}
set print setup of document 1 to {collate:false, back to front:false, print spreads:false, print
thumbnails:false}
set print setup of document 1 to {print colors as grays:true, include blank pages:true}
print page 2 of document 1
end tell

I have a minimal set of XTensions. Currently: Cool Blends, Extensis Library, LZW Import, Suitcase
XT, and XPress Tags Filter. I can print the same page by hand without it crashing. I generated the
code using ScriptMaster XT, but due to a series of highly unfortunate bouts of instability caused by
ScriptMaster, I am no longer using it.

If I can get this working in the next couple of hours, my day will go significantly easier. I
suspect I could save some execution time by adding a tell document 1 to the statement and take out
all of the individual ones, but I don't know that that would fix the problem entirely. I'll give it
a try while I'm waiting.

Thanks in advance,

Brian
