If this is due to an incorrectly included EPS file, then the "-H badeps" option may help. The warning about the media database suggest that you are probably using some large format medium which simply isn't listed. I don't think this is a serious problem. The rangecheck error may be due the PPR mangling the PostScript. On the other hand, the file could simly exceed the printer's capabilities. ================================================================ David Chappell David.Chappell@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Computing Center PostMaster@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Trinity College (860) 297-2114 Hartford, Connecticut 06106
