[OS X TeX] OT: Illustrator 10

[get86 at mac.com]

I don't believe this is the case, while is an HP it is a 4050... or
something like that.
And it is a Univ. networked printer -we tried other HPs and got the same
thing... that is, we tried some of the Illustrator 10 created .eps files
>from his Home dir on a Sun to another HP and it wouldn't print it at all,
despite various displays from various programs.
