OO and LO print EPS correctly for me to non-eps printers (my epson
C87), printing the vector graphics cleanly. Mac and Linux, both use
CUPS as the print engine. Are you printing from Linux, what printer
driver are you using.

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.

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.

Hi. This might be a windows bug (just the way windows prints, and always
has).

AFAIK, CUPS relies on ghostscript, a postscript interpretator, and it
seems LibO prints in postscript when using CUPS. While in windows
printing is done by GDI, which is different.

So while with CUPS priting always generates postscript, in windows it
only generates if the printer driver does the GDI->PostScript
translation.
