Hello, I have encountered a problem printing cells that contain EPS graphics imported into mathematica. The graphics were created in Mathematica (4.0 for Linux) and exported using Export["file.eps",graph,"EPS"]. On importing the graphics back into Mathematica (using Import["file.eps"]) and attempting to print the cells, the printer hangs. I have also noticed that graphics exported in this way, on importation, do not retain the dimensions of the original version. Clicking on the sizing handles of the graphic shows dimensions identical to the original, but the actual graphical information is concentrated into a region that is the same height, but ~50% of the original width. Exporting graphics using Display["file.eps",graph,"EPS"] seems to avoid this problem, i.e. the imported graphic is correctly sized. However, the cell containing the graphic still causes printing problems. I am certain the problem is with imported graphics because printing a cell containg graphics that were generated directly with Mathematica works perfectly. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? Thanks, Roger Mason Mathematica 4.0 on Linux (RH7.0). Printer : HP LJ5L
