Problem printing certain eps graphics

[Basil Fowler]

Greetings to all.

I prepared a document using the LaTeX / LyX combination containing some 
graphics in encapsulated PostScript format. The resulting .dvi file displayed 
perfectly in kdvi and xdvi.  

Weh I tried to print the document from LyX onto a Brother HL 5150D PostScript 
printer, the printing process came to a halt during the printing of a certain 
graphic with the following error message on the printed page:

ERROR NAME;
undefined COMMAND;
#uu^qdh
OPERAND STACK;

The string '#uu^qdh' is a sequence within the encapsulated PostScript of the 
graphic.

If I exported to a .ps file, displayed it on gv (which displayed it 
perfectly), then tried to print from gv, the same errror occurred.

The document printed correctly on a HP 690C.

My version of KDE is 3.3.1.

Further diagnostics:

I took the graphic causing problems and tried to print it separately.  I 
opened the graphic in GIMP 1.2 (the program used to produce the eps file 
originally). I then printed it directly to the Brother. Everything OK.  I 
then saved it to .eps and used kprinter to print the .eps file.

Kprinter gave the following warning:

"The file format image/x-eps is not directly supported by the current print 
system. KDE can try to convert this file automatically to a supported format. 
But you can still try to send the file to the printer without any conversion. 
Do you want KDE to try to convert this file to application/postscript?"

On giving the answer 'yes', the file was sent to the printer and it stopped at 
the point cited above.

Can anyone explain what is going on?

Merry Christmas to all!
