Hi team,

This patch [1] breaks PostScript printing with pdftocairo to Ricoh
printers: only the last line of the sequence is printed.

For example, if you have this in your .ps file,
(aaa)
(bbb)
(cc)
only "cc" will appear on the page.

PostScript viewers also fail to parse it: neither GhostScript nor Evince
are able display these lines.

Please revert or fix the patch?
