If you make a drawing that spans several pages and draw an arc over 53 inches long, the arc, and anything on the page with the arc, will not print using LaserWriter print driver 7.2. The 8.1.1 driver will print a small portion of the arc, rotated at an undefined angle.
The solution is to group the objects together and scale the selection to 25%. Change the page setup to 400% (you may have to relocate the drawing to print on the page where you want it) and then print.
