(?) Extra Formfeed from Windows '95

From Jerry W Youngblood on Mon, 14 Dec 1998

(?) Is there a way to supress the extra formfeed when I print on my Linux HP540 printer from Windows95 on the network. Everything prints great, however there is an extra page that always comes out after the print job. How do I supress this?

(!) I think there is a Win '9x control panel setting that can be tweaked to prevent this. However, I do as little with Win '9x as I can, so I don't know precisely where in that morass of dialogs and menus you might find this setting.
(I suppose another option would be to set a special printcap entry for your Win '95 system to use, and have that use one of the settings for supressing formfeeds or use a special filter or something).
I should warn that I also do as little printing as I can get away with.
