PixelPaint Printing Problems

I've got a problem on my ci, and thought I'd ask netland for help.  I have
Quark 3.0, and an old PixelPaint (1.0 or so) I bought off of a friend.  I also
have a TI Microlaser PS/35... that's the background.

Now the problem... any file drawn in PixelPaint and saved in PICT will print
fine from PixelPaint (because PixelPaint does a ton of preprocessing), but
when I load that same picture into Quark and try to print, the printer coughs
and says "Error: Limitcheck, Offending Command: Image".  I've got a few ideas
about what it might be, but I thought I'd ask for help from all of you Mac
gurus...

1)	Maybe the version of PixelPaint I have (which is about three years
	old) is writing out messed up PICT files...

2)	Maybe Quark is just not able to read them, or

3)	Maybe the TI has a newer version of Postscript built in than the
	programs can deal with (I dunno, I'd like to think the error is
	just in PixelPaint, since it is three years old).

Any ideas out there?  Thanks in advance...

Hank.
