Should "ps2eps" be "ps2epsi" here? I don't recall there being
a "ps2eps" in the standard psutils or Ghostscript distributions.

"pssplit" above should be "psplit".
The epsi file created by ps2epsi is an eps file with a
bit-map preview image (you can suffix it with ".eps" with
no problem). Some people have had problems printing the
epsi file resulting from the "ps2epsi" script. If so, remove
the line
/showpage {} def
from the ps2epsi script and rerun.
