Hi Ulrich,
Ulrich,
I cannot understand what you try to do!
My assumption is that you have a TEmbeddedCanvas already paint.
Why do you create another TCanvas ?
Why not to do simply:

{
   gROOT->SetStyle("print");// contains SetHeaderPS("175 850
translate");
                         // to put the plot on top centered
   TPostScript ps("jostps.ps", 111);
   ps.Range(18, 18);
   ps.NewPage();
   embcanvas->GetCanvas()->UseCurrentStyle();
   embcanvas->GetCanvas()->Draw();
    //   annotation->Paint();  // a TPavetext object
   c1->Update();
   ps.Close();
   delete c1;
}

The examples given at http://root.cern.ch/root/HowtoPS.html
work correctly.
