Richard,

I don't know if the blank page problem is the same one I had, but I have an
HP laserjet PS printer too.  I had to add a ctrl-D to the end of each
job to get rid of the blank page.  I just wrote a dumb little C program and
added it as a filter:

lp|local HP 4050:\
        :lp=/dev/lp:mx#0:sh:\
        :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
        :if=/usr/local/bin/addCtrlD:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

Source code for the addCtrlD program available on request, but it's brain
dead simple - copy from stdin to stdout until eof on stdin, then spit out
a 0x04.
