Stopping blank pages from printer

Hi,

I've just upgraged an DEC 3000/400S to DU 4.0B - no major problems.
However the locally attached HP LaserJet 4M printer seems to have aquired
an annoying habit of printing out a blank page at the end of each job
from some users. Anyone got any idea what might be causing this or how to
stop it happening? I stress it's for some users and not others - if certain
people print a mail message from pine, they get a blank page at the end,
while other users (me!) don't. I've included the printcap entry below,
and your comments would be most welcome.

# Hewlett Packard HP4 LaserJet (Astronomy)
