Actually, there is a very good example of printing across multiple
pages in the PostScript tutorial (the "blue" book, recommended and
fun reading IMHO) by Addison-Wesley. The only problem with that and
this example occurs when the procedure to draw the picture doesn't
fit into the printer's memory. Is there a way to get around this
problem?
