png or eps graphic in Powerpoint

I'm trying to print a PowerPoint slide on a large format plotter as a poster.
The slide is 1 meter x 1 meter. I used Illustrator to export a graphic as a
PNG filel and inserted in onto the slide. It shows fine on the screen, it
prints on an inkjet printer, but it doesn't print on the plotter. If I save
the file in Illustrator as an EPS file, it doesn't even show up on the
screen--all I see is a blank picture box...not the best for working with the
layout.
Any ideas?

TAJ,

Thanks for taking time to make a suggestion. Ordinarily I would print
straight from Illustrator, but the project is a template for research poster
presentations that needs to be used by a wide variety of people who will
individually create and send their files to our print department. The one
software package that everyone has and knows how to use is PowerPoint, thus
the reason for trying to get it done this way. Everything looks beautiful on
the print, and one other PNG all of the EPS graphics printed nicely. It's
this one troublesome PNG graphic that's the problem. Can it have anything to
do with Illustrator? The graphic is vector art that I have 3D rotated. Is
there something about how Illustrator does this that keeps it from making a
standard PNG?
