Your `spooler' (whoever is managing the printer) is not terminating each
job by a control-D.  It is the spooler's responsibility to do this.  This
control-D (which many programs mistakenly include in their PostScript
output) tells the printer that the job is over, reset back to initial
conditions for the next job.
