Thanks, Alan. 

I'm getting some annoying issues with RSCS printing to printers using the CUPS 
PostScript conversion (to non-PS datastreams). The separator page prints OK 
some of the time, and aborts about half-way into the page the rest of the time 
(and the job totally fails). 

>From the CUPS log, I see:

Which looks like what would happen if the Postscript code coming from RSCS is 
malformed in some way that's causing a value to be undefined.   Has anyone else 
encountered this? It doesn't seem to be linked to the type of non-PS printer 
(all the HP inkjets I have fail in the same way), but my PostScript is a little 
rusty.
