Description SaGS 2004-07-05 10:25:29 UTC

The attached file produces only 1 page of output, but it should 
produce 2. While /EndPage is set to force printing the final, 
incomplete (= without showpage) page, it is not called at end of 
job so this page does not appear in the output. Sometimes, 
/EndPage has to accomplish non-trivial tasks, like flushing the 
last sheet of paper for n-up printing, calling pdfmark, etc.

Comment 2 Ray Johnston 2004-07-19 22:46:43 UTC

The .endpage was not being invoked when GS did the final closedevice.

I haven't investigated whether or not this used to work, but the
patch makes sure that the .uninstallpagedevice gets interpreted
before the final closedevice, so the .endpage gets run.

No regression changes result.

The patch is:
