Printing an encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file
.eps files, encapsulated postscript, are usually meant for inclusion
in other files. Thus, printing them may cause only a blank page to be
printed. In order to directly print an .eps file, you may to edit the
.eps file by putting a "showpage" command at the end of the file.
Then, you should be able to directly send the file to a printer;
alternately, if you don't want to edit the file itself, you can do:
(cat yourfile.eps; echo showpage) | lpr
