Owen you are wrong...

The PostScript printer drivers will only generate EPS output *IF* the
application has requested it via PDriver_SelectIllustration.

As the printer driver has no knowledge of the number of output pages at the
start of job it is impossible for it to work out that it is a single page
job.

I would have thought you would have known this, given your vast knowledge of
the RISC OS printer driver system....
