Very strange, for me they definitely do not print correctly.
I'm printing from my Windows XP PC to a Canon iP5000, and all I get is the  
same as in the PDF export, which is the eps preview image.
This may have to do with how the preview looks like, maybe? Some EPS files  
have a very hi-res preview, and as I just learned from Microsoft, Word  
creates one of its own. I usually add a very low-res preview to the EPS at  
creation. I've attached an example with a very coarse preview (and a SVG  
version for comparison).
I'm very curious if you can
- print it directly from LO to a non-eps printer, and
- convert it to pdf
while getting the full verctor graphics goodness out of it.
You should be able to zoom fairly far in, and you should also be able to  
see the different thicknesses of the coloured curves versus the hairline  
tangential lines.
If I even just  put them into a writer document, it looks pretty  
ridiculous already, and the pdf looks just as bad.


I think this should clearly show the use of having a properly embeddable  
and printable vector image format.
