cups + HP LaserJet 4 Plus = extra blank page following every print job

[pm02134]

Anyone have any ideas on why I might be getting a blank page after every print job? It wasn't like this when I was running FC3. Seems to be a new problem with FC4.

here's my setup:
HP LaserJet 4 Plus
HP-LaserJet_4_Plus-ljet4.ppd from linuxprinting.org
cups-1.1.23-15
foomatic-3.0.2-19
FC4-2.6.11-1.1369

even if someone has ideas on how to trouble shoot this problem would be appreciated.

thanks,

Peter

You've probably already checked, but is it possible that it's a Letter vs A4 paper-size issue?

ah, I didn't think of that, but I just checked via the webserver (http://localhost:631) and it shows the setup to be "US letter." If I send a multiple-page job, everything comes out fine, but I still get the blank page at the end.
