It could also be the printer too, not knowing when to stop from the commands given it. I suspect though that it might just be that the settings or from the program you are printing from is sending it an extra page command.
I have a similar problem, but I am sure that it is not the printer itself. Before SuSE-8.1 I have used SuSE-8.0 with lprng and everything works pretty well concerning printing. After upgrading to SuSE-8.1 on my clients, I switched on these clients to cups. On my printserver two printers are connected both running with lprng, and now both printers send an extra page at the end of a print job, but only when they are used from the clients running cups. Now I have moved my Laser-Jet to another server with cups-server, and now it does not send an extra page when used from another client. So at least in my enviroment it is the interoperability between lprng and cups. Michael@karbach.org
