 st> Anyone have problems with the PCX graphic format? We scanned about 200
 st> Grayscale pictures with Photoshop for a 2-color catalog and saved them
 st> as  PCX so they could import into both MS Access and also Pagemaker. On
 st> outputting the 2-color separation from Pagemaker to our RIP (which we
 st> can  view on a monitor), we discovered that Pagemaker is putting the
 st> graphics in  both the Black and the Color (Magenta) separation (should
 st> show up only in  the Black).

Are you using Color Central as a spooler?  We had several instances 
very similiar to yours (outputing black and red, tiffs being greyscales).
We wasted out a *lot* of film (before getting smart and resorting to 
paper) trying to figure things out; once we stopped using the spooler,
we got good output.

I hope your solution is as easy :-)
