<pre wrap="">Thanks, Murray, I appreciate the offer.
I think I've figured out what I consider to be an acceptable work around:
Instead of printing directly to the printer, I print to a PS file, then pipe
that through /usr/bin/lpr.
The quality seems intact, and the printer is running just the way it's
supposed to.
I think it probably is a PDF related thing.

I don't print much, I never have, but recently I acquired a nice (used)
Epson Stylus Color 1520. It's a lovely wide carriage dual cartridge inkjet.
I'm running Debian 2.4 kernel from a Knoppix 3.2 install, and the printer
is being driven by CUPS.
When I print anything (particularly from either Acrobat Reader, or PS/PDF
Viewer) the printer kicks out several blank sheets before it starts the
job, or in the present case, prints several pages, then kicks out several
blanks.
Blank pages are no big deal in and of themselves, but every time it kicks
out a blank page, it switches to pause mode and the out of paper light
blinks, and I have to reach ALL THE WAY OVER and tap the button.
See why I'm so cranky all the time?
Anyway, I find myself needing to print out a 400+ page document to take
away with me, and this contraption is kicking out 5 or 6 blank pages for
every 3 it prints.
Anybody have any suggestions? Please?
Thank you!
Bob
