I strongly suspect this is dependent on the particular driver you are using. Please attach output of printconf-tui --Xexport. Created attachment 92319 [details]

How would that explain the same problem occurring with "gv -" ? For that queue, gs is not even invoked as far as I can tell. Must be something that the foomatic filter does to the PostScript before it gets sent to the printer. "cat ... | lpr" doesn't generate a blank page here in FC3. |
Description of problem: ghostscript (as used in gv and lpr) generates trailing blank page if input is from stdin. If the input is from a file then the extra page is not generated. Affects gv and lpr. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-7.07-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. pick any .ps file (the summary.ps is just an example, selected because it is only 4 pages long). 2. cat /usr/share/doc/nvi-m17n-1.79/docs/USD.doc/exref/summary.ps | lpr 3. lpr /usr/share/doc/nvi-m17n-1.79/docs/USD.doc/exref/summary.ps Actual results: The cat'd version (2.) has an extra blank page at the end. Expected results: No extra blank pages. Additional info: Same result with: cat /usr/share/doc/nvi-m17n-1.79/docs/USD.doc/exref/summary.ps | gv -
