I've never tried AR6 to do that. Two years ago I worked with AR 4.x and 5.x and printed to a Fiery RIP for a Xerox DocuColor 12. > I have tried both printing to my postscript enabled printer HPLJ 4MV and to > the acrobat destiller and the image isn't shown in either of the cases...

That's right. Acrobat Reader 6.0.1 doesn't seem to send an embedded EPS to a PostScript printer. It works with 5.x (just tried) and I think it worked with 4.x. > Is it possible to attatch the eps file to the mail and send it?? Yes, but it seems the EPS is fine if it appears under GhostScript 7.04. I may be however, that Acrobat 6 doesn't work with the EPS because they expect an EPS in a different way. That would need some investigation. But probably they just removed support for EPS files altogether. You could ask Adobe directly... > Even so is it still interesting since I can se the image with version 7.04 > of GhostScript that should mean that there is some other problem then image > related right?? Yep. What I don't get is why it doesn't work in GhostScript 8.x. I though in earlier versions of AFPL GhostScript it worked. But then, we may still do something wrong the way we embed EPS files. Maybe asking the GhostScript people would also be an idea.
