Hi,

I know this is a common problem, but I was surprised at how hard it's 
been to find a solution explained (simply) online.  The printer does not 
print an extra page at the end when printing from the server it is 
attached to. It only does this when printing from the client computers 
on the network.  I'll paste my /etc/printcap file and my /etc/lpd.conf 
file below as I have some idea that one of those could be modified in 
some way to prevent this.  It's a HP LaserJet 5L, by the way, and there 
are two names for it (whose settings look identical to me) but "lp" 
prints at 300dpi and "printer1" prints at 600dpi, somehow.  I typically 
just use "printer1" for everything.  Thanks for any help!
