Samba printer ejecting an extra page
I have just replaced a company's Netware 2.2 box with a Linux Mandrake 8.0 server running samba. Everything works perfectly except for the print queue.
They have an old HP LaserJet 4P connected to the server, whenever a print job gets sent to the print queue using samba it will print the job perfectly and then spit out a blank page.
I have connected the printer directly to the PC and it doesn't eject the extra page, so there is nothing wrong with the printer.
I tested in my office after I set it up before delivery with a Canon BJC-265SP and it didn't eject any extra pages, so it doesn't appear to be the print queue.
I have also captured LPT2 to the print queue and did a 'dir >LPT2', it spat out the extra page.
They only use this printer for single pages, so you can imagine that wasting a page for every print job it annoying.
