We send a small Australian country newspaper to print via email each week
using .eps files. We are happily using Pagestream version 3.2, Amiga.

When we set our printer preferences we make sure we have the same printer
driver installed as our printer (these can often be found via net searches
for printer drivers or printer companies). The .eps tag at the end of your
file name is also extremely important.

We have no preview with our pages, they open up at the printers (in Quark
Express Mac) with a box with a cross in the middle.

This is simply printed to the designated postscript printer maintaining all
your fonts and page layout.

Sometimes we need to educate our printers about Amiga and Pagestream
capabilities.
