`What I am hoping to find is some way to indicate to the printer that I only
`want to print pages m-n of a full postscript file that I am passing.
You could try to redefine showpage such that it only prints the selected
pages.
Try putting something like this in front of your file (Note: I have not
tested this!!!)
/count 0 def
/pagemin m def
/pagemax n def
/showpage
{
/pagecount pagecount 1 add def
pagecount pagemin ge
pagecount pagemax le and
{ showpage }
{ erasepage initgraphics } ifelse
} bind def
Good luck!
