Actually, the problem is that it can't be converted to a vector 
PostScript file.  If you print it with a bit map, it works.

So, with Karbon, this problem occurs when saving as EPS.

Normally, you would expect that when you print a vector format to 
PostScript that you would get a vector format PostScript file.  Which is 
what is needed here so that the image can be enlarged.

Note that InkScape gives you the choice of vector or bitmap PostScript. 
  This is a good feature.  Also, it allows you to set the DPI for a 
bitmap  image.  Also a good feature.

IAC, you get exactly the same vector PostScript problem with InkScape.
