I received several suggestions on this but what I finally did was to edit
the interface script for each printer. The scrips are in
/etc/lp/interfaces
I changed nobanner='no' and nofilebreak='no' to
nobanner='yes' and nofilebreak='yes'
also at the very end of the script I commeted out these lines.
#if [ -n "${FF}" -a "yes" = "${nofilebreak}" ]
#then
# echo "${CR}${FF}\c"
#fi
This stoped jobs that were printing extra sheets from doing so. There is
a side effect though now jobs that do not already have a FF at the end
will not eject from the printer( i.e. lp -d lpr <textfile>) but since I'm
the only one likely to do this it's not that big of a problem.
If anybody knows of another way please let me know.
Thanks to those of you who responded
