Hi everyone,

First, thanks to all of you who helped me narrow this down. This turned out 
to be a problem with the CUPS printing software in Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0. 
Basically the symptom is that after the first EPS graphic in any type of 
document (not just LyX), subsequent pages would not formfeed and would simply 
overprint the page sporting that first EPS graphic.

This is a known issue (Mandrake Advisory ID�MDKSA-2001:048). The solution is 
the updating of three .rpm files, in the order listed below:

Aug  4 15:04 cups-1.1.7-1.1mdk.i586.rpm*           3657459 bytes
Aug  4 15:04 cups-common-1.1.7-1.1mdk.i586.rpm*     193339 bytes
Aug  4 15:04 libcups1-1.1.7-1.1mdk.i586.rpm*         86866 bytes

Naturally, if you have even newer versions of those .rpms, those should work. 
If you should hear a symptom description involving a printer failing to 
formfeed pages subsequent to an EPS graphic, please point them to this email.

Thanks

Steve
