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).

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. -- db
