I have encountered a problem with postscript files generated by version 6.0a
of Word for Windows (WFW). It is reproducible for ALL attempts to COPY an
EPS file to my NEC Silentwriter 95, if the EPS file was created by version
6.0a of WFW.

The problem is that the EPS file prints correctly, however, it is followed
by a blank page, then a page containing only

Offending Command = timeout
Error = nametype:timeout

I happened to have an EPS file that I created on 13 Feb 1994 using version
6.0 of WFW that prints correctly without the 2 extra pages. However, when
generating an EPS, using the same source file, with version 6.0a of WFW, 
the 2
extra pages are output.

I have loaded the latest Microsoft postscript driver from ftp.microsoft.com.
Today, I restored the version of epsimp.flt that I was using on 13 Feb 1994,
but it compared (using FC) byte for byte with the version 6.0a epsimp.flt.

Below is the result of FC for the 2 EPS files. IS13346A.EPS is the
13 Feb 1994 file that prints without the extra 2 pages (it was created using
version 6.0 of WFW). ZZZ.EPS is the version that prints the extra 2 pages
(it was created using version 6.0a of WFW).

Note that CHANGE1.DOC And IS13346A.DOC are names for the same file.

Further, I tried wiping out all of version 6.0 and 6.0a and reinstalling
just version 6.0 of WFW. That didn't fix the problem as the installation of
WFW puts files in all sorts of different directories that are shared by
applications so it is not so easy to get a clean version 6.0 WFW to
reproduce the good result of 13 Feb 1994 (of course, I could restore it from
a backup tape, but that has to be a last resort as I then would not have the
benefit of  the bug fixes in version 6.0a and any added bugs in version 
6.0a).

Any ideas on why the error occurs?
