Is it possible to print zip documents using troff?  When I try to print my
document (which contains both text and a zip picture), it prints with a
blank box where the picture should be.

If I take a look at the file that is being printed by troff, the beginning
of the picture area looks like postscript:

.sp 1
The internal architecture of a router is shown in Fig. 1.
.OC
.br
'PB 362 389
'if  \n(zT  \{\
\!    362 troffadjust 389 neg translate

\!%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
\!% Begin Zip PostScript Prelude  Version 0.0
\!gsave  % Save Environment Around Zip Drawing


This doesn't look to good to me, since I don't have a postscript printer
handy.

My formatcommand and printcommand lines look like this:

*.formatcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | /usr/lib/troff |
*.printcommand: dpif | lp -opif
