The control panel for the Diablo driver has a "Form Feed" button which
turns grey if there's data "lurking" in the buffer.  Click this button
to get the last page.

You forget that the driver can't tell what the "last page" is, and
the Desktop, as you notice, doesn't send a formfeed after the file it prints.

This is a known problem.  You should never have an SLM804 connected to
your system but not turned on.  If you don't want it, disconnect it from
the chain of DMA devices before turning on your ST.
