I have install XP Pro and configured a TN3270 connection
to the mainframe. I can navigate through the mainframe,
but when I try to print the program closes and I am put
back to the desktop.

Can anyone help me

What product are you using for 3270 emulation?

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

We are using EXTRA! Personal Client 32-Bit

That's what we are using also and have found that it is very finiky about
printer drivers. Whether or not you are using a particular printer, if
there is anything not exactly correct about the installed drivers, Extra
will have a serious problem.

I suggest cleaning out all of the printer drivers (see
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;312052 or use the
cleanspl utility from the Resource Kit). Then, make sure you install only
drivers you are certain are for Windows XP.

If you are using a Network Printer (a printer shared from another server),
the driver offered by the print server must be a Driver Model Version 3
("Windows 2000 or Windows XP) and "compatible" - some "Windows 2000" printer
drivers are not Model 3 and may not work correctly on Windows XP. HP have a
fairly good article around this subject at
