Summary:
An application can perform the following steps to send EPS
(Encapsulated PostScript) to a PostScript printer as part of a
document:
1. Use the DEVICEDATA printer escape to send the information.
2. Frame the EPS with the gsave and grestore commands. If the EPS
contains any complicated output, use the save and restore commands
instead.
The PostScript printer driver preserves the order of its input. Also,
because the PostScript driver does not perform any banding, the print
spooler should not cause any problems.
Note: The application must download code to the printer to correctly
position the EPS image on the page [that is, to change the current
transform matrix (CTM)]. In addition, to avoid unwanted page
ejections, the application must edit the EPS to remove commands such
as ShowPage.
