DJ,
Thanks for replying.
I used the Export Layout to Postscript option as you suggested and 
loaded the resulting file into Okular.  Pages 7 and 9 are blank. Page 8 
seems to have the board outline, a box.  Page 10 has a grey version of 
the bottom traces as an x-ray view.  Page 11 (fab) seems to be okay.

So it looks like the silk and assembly layers are not being output. I 
need those layers for my assembly drawing.

I tried Ghostview and it prints the postscript file the same way as the 
print layout function does - it hangs after printing page 6.

It seems that there is something about my layout that is causing this, 
but I am at a loss as to what it could be.  It looks fine on the pcb screen.
