I had this, until I realised that our printers took postscript, and I
just passed it straight-on.  The printer stopped putting out the extra
page.

I think the issue is related to the windows driver configuration, but it
might be able to be solved when it goes via the ps2ps layer.  The
problem is, many windows postscript drivers bypass that layer.  You
could try the CUPS drivers - which they don't seem to advertise, but I
thinks it's :
