Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd be a bit reluctant to try that. 
With my previous inkjet any attempt to print on non-existent paper 
resulted in a foul-up of the whole printing system, needing a hard 
reset to get out of. I don't know whether that would happen with my 
current Xerox Phaser, but I don't think I'll try.

In the meanwhile, and in case there isn't an "official" solution, I've 
got a rather circuitous work-round using PrintPDF and then printing 
"Current page only" from RiScript.

With best wishes,

Peter.
