[Printing]

Thanks for the food for thought, I think that I could reuse several 
routines from gonzo. But PS is just a low-level layer for my printer 
dialect, doing too sophisticated things at PS level is not an option 
for me. All the calculation and fancy things (like good justification) 
have to be done in Draw dialect, so that WYSIWYG can be achieved.

that's an admirable aim ... just beyond my skill set
I have multipage preview working ... some time ... I have a block 
of draw blocks and I am supposed to switch between them to page thru 
the different pages.
ie. not always working!

Is it an issue with View/Draw or a bug in your code ?

my code of course :(
I've uploaded the 35 gnu ttf so that you can use postscript fonts 
for draw http://rebol.wik.is/Protocols/Printer

When printing, the user can often choose to have extra info printed 
with: who ordered the print, date and time, etc. What's the english 
name for this part of the print? The danish word for it translate 
to "receipt", but I feel, there's another english word.

Nah, not really. It's been printed typically on a separate page after 
the actual print.
legend
 maybe?
Or that is more used for text under an image in a book?

You can often choose to get this extra info printed as an option 
in the writing program, Notepad, Word or whatever. Or maybe as an 
option in the printer config.

they are often broken down into "header" & "footer" in software applications.
