Hi. This might be a windows bug (just the way windows prints, and always
has).
The bitmap image with an EPS with vector art is like a preview.
Sometimes I don't even create a preview with my EPSs, just position the
frame (empty on screen). Printing has worked fine for years in OO and
now LO on linux and mac.
The great thing about LO on the mac is that LO displays the actual
vector art of an EPS, even when there is no preview.
Wonder if you can install CUPS for windows.
