Now that I've got Mac-generated PostScript drawings coming out of our
UNIX-connected PostScript printer (thanks to all you helpful folks
on USENET), I've been experimenting with other things
the printer can do.  Our printer (DataProducts 2665) has two paper
trays and can handle up to 11x17 (B-size) sheets in the larger
paper tray.

Getting the paper trays to switch was easy using the setpapertray
commands in statusdict.  This should allow us to print, on one sheet of
B-size paper, any oversize artwork we have for our manuals.
This would be really nice, since now we have to paste the
multiple-page output of the Apple LaserWriter drawings together 
for these larger drawings. (The Apple LaserWriter handles only
8-1/2x14 pages, although you can draw a MacDraw drawing much
than that.)

To accommodate the LaserWriter, however, MacDraw saves oversize
drawings in page-size chunks.  When I run these drawings off the
DP2665 printer, I can indeed get the paper tray to switch, but the
dwg still comes out in as many pages as it takes to print the
whole image on the Apple Laserwriter.

So, the question is, Is it possible to edit out the page breaks in
the Mac-generated PostScript code while keeping the rest of the
drawing intact? If you have any insight on this one, let me know.
If you would like, I can email you one such file I am working with
now.  Email preferred, and Thanks in advance!
