[OS X TeX] OT: Illustrator 10

[Warren Nagourney]

Is he using an HP1200(N) laser printer? If so, it is probably the fault of 
the printer: I have one with the network option ( the "N" suffix) and it 
corrupts eps files which are printed fine on my other laser printer (a NeXT 
printer connected to a NeXTstation).

Because of this, I threw away the network "server" and use the HP1200 
connected via the USB port - it works better, but the HP OSX drivers are 
still pretty horrible (at least it prints eps files).

cheers,

Warren Nagourney
