Dear Steve,
I have seen a number of really good ideas posted to the list to help you
with this issue. Here is another option I haven't seen mentioned yet.
HP PCL includes a command called eject page, which will cause a form feed to
occur if printable data is currently stored in the printer's buff
In our case...
The users rightfully complained about those blank pages at the beginning
of print jobs, so years ago we put a wrapper around all of our printing.
Essentially, everything goes to a hold file first.
The leading form feed is stripped from the beginning of the job if
present.

Goo'day, Dave and Bill,
A further option you might like to consider (in a Windows printer
environment) is the use of the printer's "Page Separator" (for each of the

What normally happens is that a print job always begins with a form feed.
When PCL preceeds this print job you get a string that looks like:
