Problems printing a Quark file with an illustrator placed image

[marcello_dolcini@adobeforums.com]

Hi
Sometimes I have problems printing from Quark Xpres passport on my laserwriter, if there is a placed Illustrator 11 eps file. After I print the file from Xpress, I can see the print appearing in Laserwriter window queue. The after a wile file listed in the window disappears, but it is not printed. I get no error messages or other. It disappear as it was printed but it is not.

Sometimes, but not always, if I restart the mac, and try to print the same file, it is printed. But If i try to print it again, from the second print the problem occurs.

If I delete in Quark Xpress the illustrator eps file (wich is a simple vectorial shape), then I do not have any problems printing.

If I open the original illustrator artwork from illustrrator 10, and save it as Illustrator 10 eps instead of Illustrator 11 eps, and place it into the same Xpress file, I do not have any print problems.

I have a laserwriter 4-600 PS connected to my G4 1000 DP by a Diana serial to ethernet interface called "EtherPrint Plus".

Can anybody help?
I cannot save an illustrator 10 eps file from Illustrator 11, right? If I could, anyway, it does not sound a good solution.

I found how to save an Illustrator 10 eps file from Illustrator 11, but I don't find this is really a solution, so if anybody has suggestions please reply to this message.

Thanks
