filter in spooler configuration file phs-to-ps

Is there a symbol that can be used in the filter lines of spooler
configuration files to indicate the input file? For example, $d is
device. Is there a $ for the file name?

I need to be able to filter PostScript from phs-to-ps before I send it
on to the printer to remove the “/setpagedevice” line.

In my application, I don’t care what size paper is in the printer; the
reports are sized to fit on both A4 and Letter paper. However, that
pesky “/setpagedevice” line is screwing it up, telling the printer that
it needs a specific size piece of paper in order to print.

Why is “/setpagedevice” in the PostScript output anyway? AFAIK, it’s not
supposed to be there, especially when using the -E encapsulated option
to phs-to-ps. I have a document from Adobe here right in front of me
that “/setpagedevice” is an illegal operator in Encapsulated PostScript.

I guess I’m the only one in the whole world that uses printers with QNX?

Maybe because you’re the only one in the whole world who has ever been
able to figure out how to make it work…
