I am running on a Macintosh :7300/200 running OS 8.0, and printing to a LaserWriter using :LaserWriter 8.4.3. : :I tried the same thing on a friend's PC, and the "Figure 2" printed out :just fine. : :The problem seems to be a clipping at the boundary of the plot. If I :position the "Figure 2" just right (using Text["Figure :2",Scaled[{.5,0.062}],{0,2}]) then only the top half of the letters :gets printed. Hmmm. I can confirm this behavior with System 8.1, LaserWriter 8.5.1 driver, printing to an HP LaserJet 4m+. And when I save it as EPS, and import it into Illustrator, it's sans "Figure 2". HOWEVER: if you're trying to prepare a publication-quality graphic, why not do it in LATEX? The "Figure" and descriptive text are MUCH more easily done in TeX then in Mathematica. --Ron Bruck
