Hi David,
I am experiencing this same problem. I have 2 OKIDATA OL 1200 printers
setup on 2 different linux boxes. One is a local printer and one is
connected to a print server. Box 1 is the local printer which prints a
blank page after every print job. Box 2 does not print a blank page. I
print to both using the same driver, HP Laserjet 4. I also changed Box 1 to
use load printers = yes and it still printed a blank page after the print
job. Maybe somebody will see where the page is coming from.
