Kent,

You don't need to include LaserPrep for AI3 files. When you save the 
illustration to disk, use the "with EPSF header" option.  This will include
the necessary prologues and save your illustration as a valid EPS file.

I suspect that you are capturing the AI3 output by using command-K or
command-F. This is not the recommended way to try to generate EPSF from Adobe 
Illustrator.
