SYMPTOMS
When using Microsoft Publisher Outside Printing feature to print your
publication to a PostScript printer for a commercial printing service
you may receive the following error:
You are attempting to create a multi-page EPS file. Please print a
single page to ensure that EPS output is correct.
CAUSE
This error occurs if you have configured your PostScript printer driver to
create an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file instead of a standard PostScript
print file.
The PostScript print driver generates this error when the driver
detects that you are attempting to print more then one page of
information to an Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) file. The error occurs
any time you are using Publisher's Outside Printing feature to print
to a Postscript printer that has been set up to generate an
Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) file rather then a Postscript (PS) print
file.
When you use Publisher's Outside Printing feature, multiple pages are
printed to the selected printer driver. This triggers the error.
RESOLUTION
If you set the PostScript printer driver to generate a standard
PostScript print file you will not receive this error when you attempt
to Print to Outside Printer from within Publisher.
If your service bureau specifically needs an EPS file, do not use the
Print to Outside Printer feature. Use the standard Print command
instead. Remember to print each page as a separate print job.
