I suspect you have not print()-ed your graphics, see FAQ Q7.22. It is then possible to include dev.off() within the function. E.g.
testit <- function(fn = "test.eps") { trellis.device(postscript, file=fn, onefile = FALSE, horizontal=FALSE) print(stripplot(voice.part ~ jitter(height), data = singer, aspect = 1, jitter = TRUE, xlab = "Height (inches)")) dev.off() } testit() works for me.
