Thank you to all for the helpful suggestions. In recap, some ps files created via framemaker were included into a latex document via \special. I still can't get it to work, but there were basically three suggestions on things to try: 1. figure off the page. The included file's bottom left corner is put in the upper right corner of the page. Try voffset and hoffset. 2. Printer running out of memory. Try printing out one page (dvi2ps -f -t) or use a printer with a bigger memory. 3. Use something other than framemaker to make your figures. Apparently macdraw (or whatever)'s prolog kills printer memory. Apparently xfig and idraw work better. Apparently frame is doing something screwy with their brand of postscript that results in the figures created using it not being printed out. If anyone ever does figure this out please let me know. I tried playing with the offsets and actually got a figure out on the page. I also tried a printer with a big memory and printing out only one page - no luck here. I also tried playing with the frame postscript only to find I was learning more about postscript than I really cared to and that I couldn't get the figure out (I with major league help from John Kolen came close, but somehow part of the figure caused 0/0 to be evaluated. This is a bad thing).
