Hi,

I am playing around with a host based Windows printer (Brother
HL-2135W), which seems to understand some PCL .

Converting .ps or .pdf files with ghostscript and printing the result
via lpr works so far.

Problem is, there always will be a blank page printed out at the end of
a print job.
I tried to suppress this with lpr -h option, but that wouldn't help.

Does anyone have any good idea?


Thanks for your answers

Peter
