I cannot reproduce the bug on the current Cooker, even if I use exactly the same
PPD files. I have also exactly the same printers (HP LaserJet 1100 and 4050). I
have tested a 2-page document from Mozilla and a 7-page document from
OpenOffice.org. I have ps_accounting turned on and I get no blank pages. I get
absolutely correct printouts and correctly counted pages in /var/log/cups/page_log.

Your file /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic should be a symbolic link to foomatic-rip:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           32 Ago  6 16:42
/usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic -> ../../../../usr/bin/foomatic-rip*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

If yours is a file by itself, you can have a very old cupsomatic version which
is from the time before I fixed this bug which was reported years ago.

So please delete this ancient file and set the link:

ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic

to get your problem solved.

description: 
The setting ps_accounting (currently set to 1) causes foomatic to insert some
additional PostScript code to CUPS print jobs related to accounting.

There have been reports that this setting causes empty pages being ejected by
printers at beginning of print jobs:

I suggest that in the default filter.conf file shipped with foomatic the
following line be added:

ps_accounting: 0

In my case it solved the problem of empty pages in OpenOffice and Mozilla on
Mandrake 9.1.
