I suspect you have a mismatch between the kinds of images
you want to send to the printer and the COLOR_MODEL you
chose for the printer. Or, the printer doesn't support
24-bit color images, and you will need to use a PALETTE
and a 2D image with the printer. Or, the printer driver
doesn't support color. If the latter, you might try using
the clipboard object to generate your EPS files.

Cheers,

David
