I need to ask another question... were you thinking of storing your
preamble in the printer using exitserver, then just sending the
document part later?  If so, what you specify is a bit dangerous, since
the conditions under which the document might print might have a
different matrix from when the preamble was executed.  This would be
the case on some printers if the paper tray changed.  It would also be
the case on some products if the printing resolution changed between
PostScript files.
