I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, and has
come up with a solution:

I'm trying to include a Framemaker-generated figure into a TeX file
using psfig.  Using the print command, I dumped the image into a 
postscript file, changed the bounding box accordingly, and moved
the %%BoundingBox statement to the beginning of the code.
Now, PSFig was perfectly happy with this, and after running dvips
on it the resulting PS file seems to be correct: both the Sun
OpenWindows Postscript interpreter and Ghostscript have no problems
imaging it, and it looks fine.

The kicker is when I need to print the damn thing:  my LaserWriter
absolutely refuses to print the image; all I see is the TeX output
and none of the Framemaker images.


Has anyone else encountered this?  I've beaten my head into the ground
trying to figure out what makes it tick in the previewers but not in
the LaserWriter (should I be kicking the laserwriter? =)

Please email any responses to the above address; I don't read these
groups regularly.

Thanks!
