Use the PRINTDEF utility to define printer initialization
and cleanup strings.  In particular, define the cleanup string
to contain the characters "<ESC>E", which tell the printer
to eject the page if there is anything to be printed on the
paper.  These definitions should already exist in Novell's
.PDF files (printer definition files) but need to be
imported through PRINTDEF.

Then use the PRINTCON program to set up job configurations
for each user, indicating the printer definition file and
the initialization sequence.  While you are in PRINTCON, 
change the Suppress Form Feed selection to YES to get rid of
the extra formfeed.  

After doing this (refer to the novell manuals for help),
the page is kicked out only when necessary and the formfeed
is no longer needed.
