I am using Pagemaker 3.02 and trying to place some scanned files made on a Microtek 300F scanner. I've tried saving the files in TIFF, PS and EPS formats. When I place these in Pagemaker and print the file, the graphic simply does print but text will. If it is just a graphic alone in the file nothing prints at all. No error message or anything. I've been able to print other TIFF and EPS files with no problems (from different sources). Any ideas on what my make this happen? The print spooler (Novell Netware) says it has a file queued to print but the file just mysteriously disappears. Thanks for any help. Bob Cole cole@cica.cica.indiana.edu

Don't know if that still applies to the PS and EPS versions. You should probably try things with a direct- connect laser printer to eliminate problems related to your networking/ spooling software.

I would suspect that your spooler does not tell you about offending postscript commands, and just aborts the print process.
