I've installed the latest printer driver from Lexmark, but the problem
remains. A W98 machine on the same LAN doesn't have the problem. I'm
now suspecting the problem is caused by the way I have the LAN
configured. DSL to a Linksys BEFSR41 (firewall and DHCP server) with a
SMC7004ABR connected through one of its ports to the Linksys (not using
the SMC WAN port), and the printer connected to the SMC. Connected this
way I can't access the SMC firmware from any of the clients, but it
works OK as a switch and print server except for the extra page after
every print job from an MCP or eCS client. Should I use the SMC as DSL
router and trade the Linksys router in for a simple hub? My physical
arrangement would allow that.

Thanks again,
Ben A.
