I have been pasting epsf files into drawings created from TeX via dvips  
-E.

Sometimes these labels are not meant for just viewing on screen, but also  
for printing.  This means that there should not be a showpage in the EPSF  
file.  When viewing on screen, the showpage has no visible effect, but  
when printing the showpage causes a page to be printed.  In the EPSF file  
the eop is defined as

/eop{SI restore showpage userdict /eop-hook known{eop-hook}if}N

when it comes time in the eps file to do the drawing it does

-1 bop 2546 1002 a Fb(s)2607 1022 y Fa(i)p eop

which sends the showpage to the printer!  For every label I added to the  
drawing it prints a separate page.  


Does anybody know how to fix this via the .pro or options file?  I would  
rather not have to remove it via a filter.
