What is the size of the document? A lot of graphics tend to get rather huge.
Two approaches:
1) Delete normal.dot.
delete ~*.*
delete *.tmp
search and find the folder called Temporary Internet Files and delete everything in it (or Cache folder if you use Netscape instead of Internet Explorer).
Then test print.
You might have enough disk space but it also needs to be contiguous space (you might also need to do a defrag if it has been awhile since last done).
2) It might also beprinter memory issues. How much RAM does your printer have? You might try printing 1-3 pages at a time, and then 4-6, etc.

A few tips:
1. Re-boot your system then try to print your document again. Try this first, it usually works best, if not try the tips below in any order.
2. If you have copied a large graphic or file to the windows clipboard, clear it before tryingto print your document. This can be done by simply copying one word of text that will over write the contents of the windows clipboard.
3. Be sure to save your document after making changes to it and before trying to print it.
4. If the file sizeof your document is very large, try printing pages separately instead of the whole document at once, especially pages containing graphics.
5. Be sure to purge any documents from the print queue/spool that remain and will cause all succeeding jobs to fail.
6. Is it possible your system/printer is low on memory, disk space, or low system resources due in part to having too many applications open at once or running in the background (tasks) from the startup folder, if so can you stop them?
Ifyou need assistance with any of these tips, I am here to help. If these tips do not work, there could be many other reasons for the problem you are experiencing and we will just have to try again!

Try disabling the background printing option in Word.
Open Word & goto Tools, Options & select the Print tab & untick Background printing
