- Owen you are wrong...
-
- The PostScript printer drivers will only generate EPS output *IF* the
- application has requested it via PDriver_SelectIllustration.
-
- As the printer driver has no knowledge of the number of output pages at the
- start of job it is impossible for it to work out that it is a single page
- job.
-
- I would have thought you would have known this, given your vast knowledge of
- the RISC OS printer driver system....
