I had the same problem for programs printing from Win4Lin.  To get
around it I have two printers defined for the same printer within
/etc/printcap with different names.  There are other config files in
/etc relating to the apsfilter functionality all begining with
apsfilterrc followed by the name defined in printcap.  You need to
have the line PRINT_RAW_SUPPRESS_FORMFEED="yes" defined for the
printer that is causing the problem.

Steve
