It seems to be a problem with pictures that are stored as EPS. The workaround is to copy the text of the definition into an rtf document and print that. Note that you can't copy the picture because that also results in an error when you paste it. Of course, this workaround doesn't get the picture printed. You might be able to save the PS output and fiddle with it so that you can print that, but I wouldn't advocate that unless you were comfortable fiddling with PS code. If you are interested, the offending command is the currentpoint command after the picture. Kate Smith NeXT Developer Support
