We have 12 iMacs in our computer lab at our college. They over five years old but we upgraded to Yosemite and added memory. Our students are having problems trying to print (to a black and white printer) their notebooks. Testing one students notebook (about 6 pages with 3D printing), we had to wait 6 minutes for it to start printing, then it only printed about 4 lines from the notebook and nothing else. At the top of the page are these remarks:

ERROR: limitcheck

OFFENDING COMMAND: image

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, was there a workaround?

We tried saving to a PDF, but we're unsuccessful using that approach as well. Is there a way in Mathematica to compress the size of the notebook before printing that might enable students to print directly from Mathematica. Currently, they are having to screen copy their pages one at a time and then print with the Preview application on the iMacs.
