You can't attach files here. You either need to post them on a site
somewhere, or use Nabble to attach.

As a test I installed "MS Publisher Imagesetter", on a WinXP virtual
machine (on a linux host). I then printed a 13K two page .odt file from
LO Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5); the first page is all text, the
second page is an EPS graphic. Printed to "MS Publisher Imagesetter" and
the result is a 107K postscript file that I opened in Ghostscript to
ensure it worked properly.

The PS heading on the print file:

I suspect that you have an issue with the MSPI driver. You might want to
install a second one and see if it acts the same.

If you'd like to send me your file directly, I'll see if I can recreate
the problem.
