Raspi Rascal, vnv bcjd didn't say anything about wishing to install and use Virtual Machines. I'd suggest he/she not do so.

MY ADVICE: i had allot of crash issues for imac 11.0, i emailed wolfram staff and by 11.0.3 all the issues were resolved. be patient

QUESTION; does it crash if you "print as file" or only "print to printer" ? try both and say which.

using mathematica you can also convert your file to another format (Postscript, PDF, BMP, JPEG) and then print the resulting file. So your really not stuck if you haven't those (very many possibilities)
