Just an additional note: One can use the PostScript["1 setlinecap"] in PlotStyle and it will be included properly in the eps-file created by Export or "Save selection as ... EPS" (Mathematica 4.0.1 Win). What I don't understand is why printing from the front-end creates postscript different from the Export command. Furthermore, the front-end PS interpreter breaks certain contourplots into smaller pieces that show artifacts stemming from the "2 setlinecap". Very ugly! BTW, at support.wolfram.com I could not find any relevant information. Is it there? Cheers, Martin P.S.
