I have a quite complicated and complex vector drawing which I want to
print with a HP laser printer. I used a vector drawing program which is
able to create spline curved and colored pattern filled areas, and
printed everything by the Windows 95 printer driver for HP LaserJet 4 or
5 (each MP versions) into postscript files. But the printers I can use
(HP LaserJets  4, 5 or 6, all PostScript 1 or 2 compatible) needed

So I wonder if it is possible in PostScript to calculate a page once and
then print it multiple times, or is the calculated site lost after
printing? If anyone knows about this, please send me some hints or maybe
even "patching" instructions to modify the PostScript files. I don't
know much about PostScript.

Please answer directly to one of the e-mail addresses in the footer,
because I might not check this newsgroup back soon. You can write in
english or german.

Fun and success!

The way this works on Level 2 printers is with the setpagedevice command:

  << /NumCopies 3 >> setpagedevice

will cause the printer to print 3 copies of each page, interpreting each
page only once. This is probably what your print driver will insert in
the print stream if you request multiple copies.

Best regards.

(of course, substitute whatever number you want).
