If one is not using an Adobe interpreter, eexec is not handled very gracefully. Usually the printer just skips the rest of the file and goes into idle mode and waits for a new file without printing anything. It often doesn't even seem to know enough to substitute a font and avoid eexec altogether. Is there a way to jump over the part of the PostScript file that involves eexec and the data eexec would use if it were there and continue on with the rest of the file? I noticed in the file dumps I've examined that eexec is usually immediately preceeded by currentfile and followed by what appears to be some font data which is then followed by a cleartomark. Is there a way to skip from the eexec to the cleartomark as though nothing happened and continue with the file so that everything else prints? Anyone?... Anyone?...
