I have been using Context only recently. I need to import eps images into
the documents(a lot of them). Despite running texutil and setting the path
for Ghost Script, I am getting only blank eps images or gray boxes in the
pdf. Is there a driver that I need to do the conversion from eps to pdf ?
 

Well, you need to convert the eps to pdf since PostScript is a full 
programming language while PDF is rather limited.
I used usually 'epstopdf' for this purpose, but one can also use
texutil --figures --epstopdf some_eps_file.eps
(I tend to forget the syntax of texutil, moreover I'm frequently unsure 
whether texexec or texutil contains a certain feature therefore I 
usually use epstopdf which does essentially the same).

I am able to import jpg images. Do I have to convert the eps images to pdf
externally and then import them using context tags?
 

If you use \useexternalfigure[some_image], it automatically includes 
some_image.eps in the DVI mode and some_image.pdf in the PDF mode.

I have been stuck on this problem for amonth now.
Don't hesitate to send questions to the mailing list. That's better than 
being stuck for that long!

Tobias
