Since I didn't see any suggestion/solution, I probably didn't supply
enough information for the problem that submitted couple days ago.

I am using "Apple color LW 12/600 PS" printer driver on my Win98 box, and
trying to print to Epson Stylus Color 600 of my FreeBSD 3.0 box (via
SAMBA).  The printing is fine, but at the end of each printing, it prints
extra page number to a new page (without page feed), which is similar to
this:
	%% [ Page: 1 ] %%
	%% [ LastPage ] %%
Then I have to manually press page feed button to eject the paper.
Otherwise, the next print job will be printed after the page number on the
same paper.

How can I get rid of this?  I don't want to print the extra page
number/info, it is wasting my paper.

The following is my /etc/printcap:
	Epson600|Stylus600|lp|Epson Stylus COLOR 600:\
		:sh:\
		:mx#0:\
		:sd=/var/spool/EpsonStylus600:\
		:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
		:if=/usr/local/libexec/Epson-if:\
		:lf=/var/log/EpsonStylus600.log:
The following is my /usr/local/libexec/Epson-if:
	#!/bin/sh
	read first_line
	first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
	if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
		/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=stcolor
-sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
	else
		echo "$firstLine" && /bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
	fi
	exit 2
The following is printer setting in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
	[printers]
	   comment = All Printers
	   path = /var/spool/samba
	   browseable = no
	# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
	   public = yes
	#   guest ok = no
	   writable = no
	   printable = yes

Thank you very much for you attention.

best wishes,
