Ah! If the process of generating the postscript from the raster image
is the same as using Gimp's export filter to save the image in
postscript form, that's exactly what I'm trying to work with.

The postscript I wrote by hand simply defines a card, draws several
copies of it in the appropriate places on the page, then shifts the
whole thing to match my printer's margin.

I'm trying to include (or refer to a file of) the Gimp's postscript
output in the postscript I wrote by hand that defines the card.

I suspect that would show me just what I need.
