Yes, I did track it to gnuplot. I guess it's a "feature" not a bug. The
-dps devices don't have that problem, only the -deps devices. I had
never run into a .eps file that wouldn't just print. Even eps2eps
produces a printable file with a %%Page line in. So I guess it's a
"quirk" if not a bug. Thanks to all for the thoughtful posts!
