So I managed to capture a bit of the debugger output surrounding the windows printing bug which results in:

An UnhandledException in app.exe (GDI32.DLL) 0xC0000005: Access Violation

Is there anyone at REAL that would be interested in this info?

Also try turning on the task Manager and add the GDI Objects column to watch
See if you ever go over 10,000 of them
If you do that could be part of the problem

We've done numerous tests in this area and this particular program doesn't ever seem to get above ~400.

That rules out it being a GDI issue then

Not sure how that can be. The error specifically references GDI32.DLL.

If anyone at REAL is monitoring this thread, I'd really like to know what it's going to take to fix this bug. Looking back at the archives, it looks like we've had a rant of one sort or another regarding the Win32 printing issues each year when a new version of RB is released. So what's it gonna take? Do I need to purchase a developer plan? I doubt that this falls under the category of "Quick Fix", so I'm not inclined to throw my money in that direction.
