I am assuming this is on a client computer with AC installed there.I would consider a device driver from a print driver or a corrupted file either on your local program or a problem with the database. Maybe start with:
Update your print driver or change from a PCL to a PS driver or from a 5 to a 6. Possibly download the latest print driver.
Reinstall AC on your client. Probably the first thing to do and most likely to fix the problem.
Use AC Utilities to clean up the database.
Are there any error messages on your event viewer on your local computer which is crashing.
BUT, ONE THING THAT MAY HELP THAT I DO ANYWAY IS THE FOLLOWING:
Rather than take all the time to transfer it to another computer, why not go ahead and close the note. Then, reopen it and print the patient instructions. This will give you two benefits. First, if it crashes, you do not need to reconstruct the note or worry that you lost the note altogether. Second, sometimes, I don't want to print patient instructions that may contain the medications written in doctor speak along with two deleted medications. You can edit the instructions anyway you wish without worrying about changing the actual note.
