Skipping page by UNIX printer
I have HP UNIX 10.20 and whenever anything is printed on DFX 8000, it skips a page. How could I give an lp command so that

a) the printer does not skip a page
b) Even if it skips a page, the next time it should automatically use the blank page it has ejected.

In this way, I can reduce the wastage of stationery. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

/usr/spool/lp/interface is the directory. The script will have the same name as the printer.
