After doing some investigation, I discovered that this problem is reproducible using sample programs such as axes_demo.py. Here are the steps I took:
a) Run axes_demo.py
b) Save the plot as eps file
c) Start Word
d) Insert the eps file
e) Print
I got a 2 page print: 1 for the plot, and 1 for the error message invalidrestore.
Could somebody please try and see if it fails the same on their system?

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] invalidrestoreThanks for pointing that out, Eric.
I try that and it did turn my plot 90 degree. The bad news
is that GSview imports it upside down and if I want to view
the plot on the screen, I have to rotate it downside up
first. (Hey, I shouldn't complain. At least I can print
without wasting a piece of paper for each plot).So, looks like it's true that something MPL did to the eps
file is causing Word to spit out that error page. I wish I
know what it is.The problem of not finding out is that I need to send these
plots to clients. I don't want to require that they have an
.eps viewer in order to see my plots...Regards
