Inserting an EPS into a postscript document is trivial. All it involves is a 
couple of postscript commands to save the stack etc, and then you can simply 
paste the EPS into the document. dvips operates in that way, for example. The 
only problem that I see is that Qt's QPrinter doesn't allow one to write to 
the postscript directly, and neither does it allow one to insert EPS. This is 
clearly a shortcomming of Qt, and cannot really be solved from within 
koffice. What would be needed is a function like 'insertRaw()' with which 
arbitrary stuff can be written directly do the printer. Maybe somebody with a 
good connection to the trolls could bring that up?
