Ok...

> neither Photoshop4 nor Paintshop Pro5 recognise the PRN file type

They wouldn't. But it's just a name. Rename it.

> and renaming the file as an EPS doesn't seem to work either.

Your tests aren't really valid, because these are not what EPS files
are for.

> (Photoshop says it can't open file (renamed as *.EPS)because the parsing module cannot parse the file)

Photoshop can't open every EPS file. Unfortunately, it gives no clues
when it doesn't open what is the problem. Mostly it is designed to
open exported EPS files.

However, each version of Photoshop has been able to do more and more
EPS files. Photoshop 4 is very old indeed, in fact I think it might be
designed only to open the EPS files it saves.

EPS files are designed to be PLACED. Anything else is a bonus...
