In general, there is no simple thingy that you can put at the top of any
PostScript file to get it to print on multiple pages. The main problem
is that you have to actually execute the file in its entirety for each
sheet that you need. The reason is that PostScript only works on a
single bitmap at once,
and each operator puts its mark in only the current bitmap.
If I am understanding you right, all you want to do is make several
copies of the file to print one right after the other without waiting
for the file to execute again, right?
If so try putting this line in just before the showpage and see if
it works.
1 1 # { copypage } for
# being one less than the number of copies that you want printed.
