This seems to have fixed most problems here - I also had to recreate the
queue because my apps didn't seem to want to take a parameter passed to
lpr regarding the print queue name.
One issue remains - if my users print to the printer from Win machines
via Samba, paper ejects properly, including the last page. When I print
from the local Linux box, the last page (or only page) never ejects. I
have enabled EOF in printtool, but this feature seems broken. I can
uncomment the lines in the filter which will append the eof to the job,
but this effects my Win users as well and ejects a blank page at the end
of their docs. Is this a known problem or am I missing something? This
always worked in RH 4.x and 5.0/5.1.
