Thread: [matplotlib-devel] Encapsulated postscript output without %%pages

Hi all,
When trying to print a matplotlib-generated .eps file with CUPS, it
aborts, complaining
No %%Pages: comment in header!
An easy workaround is to do
eps2eps broken.eps fixed.eps
but maybe the %%Pages directive should be included in the output?

According to the EPS specification 
(http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf), the 
only required comments in the header are:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: llx lly urx ury
I have never seen an error from CUPS due to a missing PAGES comment, what 
version of cups are you using?
