Shouldn't "ps_hid_export_to_file (f, options);" take care of the headers
internally, or is this for the case where you just want to emit a
postscript fragment?

If I naively consider the open postscript file pipe a kind of container
format for pages, where a header is required once, and different pages
can be output into the postscript "pipe", I see the need for headers
once, pages 1-n times.

Do other exporter HIDs emit file data without headers, .png etc..? I
realise postscript can be a special case, but it doesn't seem nice.
Could there be an option to the exporter to tell it headers (and pages)
have already been emitted if multiple pages are being printed?
