No solutions, but an identical problem. I had assumed that it was because
Illustrator eps files require a postcript interpreter to print cleanly,
and that a software RIP would be the only solution. Tried a demo version
and it works perfectly (with DEMO plastered across the printout).

Perhaps the change is in Illustrator. I am using version 8.0.

Hope there is a cheap solution, because I am now rasterising Illustrator
files using Photoshop.
