But the help page says that "..." are parameters of the "device" function,
if the "device" functions is postscript (as it is here),
you must look at ?postscript to see what parameters you can use.
Even though, all would have been clear already,
I've added to the help which now reads
Copy Graphics Between Multiple Devices
dev.copy(device, ..., which=dev.next())
dev.print(device=postscript, ...)
dev.control(displaylist)
Arguments:
device: A device function (e.g., `x11', `postscript', ...)
...: Arguments to the `device' function above. For
`dev.print', this includes `which' and by default
any `postscript' arguments.

Thanks for the report.
