For what it's worth:

The graphicx package is recommended over the (obsolete) epsfig 
package. I think graphicx offers extended functionality in comparison, 
too.

As it happens, we noticed here at work today that LaTeX2HTML also 
doesn't work well with \epsfig commands (it gives gray backgrounds to 
XFig figures), use of \includegraphics instead corrected the problem.
