I have seen some code that I can't locate now that allowed putting a
jpeg directly inside a PostScript file but at the time I tried it, it
caused several other problems in both the queuing of the file to a
printer and in the rip time on the printer itself. I now process all
jpeg images into eps files to start with (my web server upload code does
it) and then either include the eps into the file or use the PostScript
"run" command.
