"trailing page" printer config option/parameter
- if memory serves, besides the "page height" (or lines-per-page) parameter,
I remember that "smit" and/or "jetdirect" used to have a specific "trailing page" yes/no config option/field, which governed the printing of an additional blank page at the end of the print jobs;
good luck, and success !
