Description Jim Wray 1999-07-22 07:18:41 UTC
packages: teTex-*-0.9-17
	  mpage-2.4-7

A document compiled with LaTeX that has figures in it (using
epsfig OR graphicx packages) that is subsequently made into
a .ps file with dvips and routed through mpage (tried -4 and
-1 options) does not produce correct output. The first
figure is not scaled, and is put onto its own page and the
output is terminated afterwards.  From our tests, it seems
that mpage is the culprit, generating incorrect postscript
from the dvips generated file.

This is definitely not a printer problem, as we put the
output to a file and viewed it with ghostview.

Can you supply a simple test case? Thanks.

BTW, you probably should upgrade to the Raw Hide tetex packages
since there are several important bug fixes in those packages.

closed, lack of input.
