- My experience has been that W4W cannot, as you point out, display EPS images.
- But it does, supposedly, allow you to print them if you use a PostScript
- printer driver.
-
- I usually print from W4W using such a printer driver, writing to disk instead
- of a printer. Then I transfer the resulting postscript file to my NeXT and
- print it (I note that for some reason the PostScript printer driver inserts a
- ^D character at the beginning and end of the file, something that Preview
- doesn't like).
-
- Unfortunately the EPS image never prints (the file is in fact, corrupt
- according to the NeXT postscript interpretor). I'd love to know what causes
- this problem.
-
- I've only tried this with EPS images created originally on the NeXT. I don't
- know what would happen with EPS images originating on the PC.
