I have tryed it, but that makes no difference. The printing stripe is slit up
between the end of the page and the beginning of the next page on my Epson
Styles Photo EX.
Everything of the graphical dump is printed out, no parts are lost,but as I said
the printing stripe is plit up.

That's even nicer, thanks in advance for the good work.
BTW:
The combination TP 7.x and their special Ghostscript function (PS:) works
very good with all kind off applications on both printers I have in use.
