Problem in setting up printers

Hi,

We are facing an issue while setting up printers in solaris 5.10 . We have Oracle EBS installed over it. We have configured the printer and when we try printing a page from EBS it is printing fine. But the problem arises when we print two copies of the page. The first page is printing fine and the next page instead of starting from the next paper, it starts from the left over line of the first paper.

We have the same printing setups as of solaris 5.9 where we do not face any issues.

Printer setup in Solaris 5.9

Code:
# lpstat -lp purchasing
printer purchasing is idle. enabled since Mon Oct 16 09:22:32 2006. not available.
        Form mounted:
        Content types: simple, postscript
        Printer types: epson2500
        Description:
        Connection: direct
        Interface: /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard
        PPD: none

Can you help me whether is there any other configuration setups to be done other than this.

Code:
# lpadmin -p purchasing -v /dev/null
# lpadmin -p purchasing -m netstandard
# lpadmin -p purchasing -o dest=15.1.1.7:9900 -o protocol=tcp
# lpadmin -p purchasing -I simple,postscript -T epson2500
# accept purchasing
Destination "purchasing" now accepting requests
# enable purchasing
printer "purchasing" now enabled
# lpstat -p purchasing
printer purchasing is idle. enabled since Fri Jul 13 16:31:29 2012. available.

I also tried netstandard__foomatic instead of netstandard , in that case the page alignment is perfect (ie) is automatically goes to the next paper to print the second copy but the font and the page alignment varies as a result we are missing some data on the right side of the page.

Thanks,
Srinath
