I believe the gray box you are getting implies that you are producing HP
output (i.e. using "-printer:hp").  If this is true, I'm afraid neither .eps
nor .bmp image files will work.

If you have HP printers that also support PostScript, you can probably use
"-printer:ps" with the .eps image file.  In order to include images while
using "-printer:hp", you'll need to have an HPGL image file.  (You can use
the .bmp image files if you are using "-printer:wp" or viewing your
output with the SQR viewer.)

The SQR manual says "The file must be in the SQRDIR directory or you must
specify the full path."  We have also found that if you leave the path off,
you can put the image file in the current directory, but I'm not sure if
that's true for all versions of SQR.  In any case, you can definitely
specify the full path, as in
   print-image (#y,#x)
      source='c:\temp\file.eps'
      [etc]
