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.
