Have you looked at the solutions on my EPS / FM page at:
http://w1.133.telia.com/~u13304072/framers/postscript/eps.html#whyprint

If you bring up the Print dialog in FM 5.5.6, and select print
to PS file, does the field show a file extension of .prn instead
of .ps? This could indicate that FM thinks the printer is non-
PostScript and thus only prints the preview image.

Also check the maker.ini setting UsePostScript.
