This feature has driven me mad several times, I use a radical approach now:
Always create ps output only, and use Ghostscript to do the conversion for
publication (if they need tiff, nowadays pdf is much more convenient). 

And is you have troubles figuring out the right command line syntax: try the
utility Ghostfriend (Windows only).
