%%EOF is a PostScript Document Structuring Convention comment;
printers ignore it. PostScript end-of-job is a control-D.
This depends on how you are sending the job to the printer. In
some cases, a control-D is just a character which will be read
by the postscript interpreter, and it will generate an error
(for "undefined command", or "undefined variable").
Of course, Toby did say this was for a "locally-attached printer",
so control-D is probably the right solution. It's just that I
work a lot with network printers and thus I get annoyed when
programs blindly add control-D's at the beginning or end of the
postscript output that they generate. Control-D is *not* a
postscript command.
But it's reasonable for a print-queue specific filter to add
control-D's, if that will solve the problem.
