I often use the psfig TeX macro package to include (e.g.) Mma- produced graphs in my publications. I use Display and psfix commands to obtain the PS files. However, more than often I encounter the problem that the printer (LaserWriter) refuses the print the TeX pages with Mma-produced figures. I use Mma kernel on a SGI Iris4D environment. Previewing the publication with GhostScript never has any trouble, but I would like to have it printed too :) I have also tried a bigger (Digital) printer and this sometimes helps, sometimes not. If I print the graphics pages alone, that is without psfig, then I usually have no problems. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Does the scaling performed by psfig somehow destructively interfere with Mma produced PostScript? Since this is a major problem, I have considered having GhostScript render the graphics with 300 DPI resolution and then sending that as a huge bitmap-PS to the printer... Pekka Janhunen
