How do you disable printing postscript's page trailer?

Win98 box sends postscript to FreeBSD box, I saw the postscript contails
pagetrailer (which prints page number at the end of the print job), and
the FreeBSD box prints the trailer.  I don't want the page trailer
because it is wasting paper.  How do you disable it?

The following is the 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 the usr/local/libexec/Epson-if:
    #!/bin/sh
    read firstLine
    firstTwoChars=`expr "$firstLine" : '\(..\)'`
    if [ "$firstTwoChars" = "%!" ]; then
            /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r360 -sDEVICE=stcolor
-sOutputFile=- -q -    && exit 0
    else
            echo "$firstLine" && /bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
    fi
    exit 2

Thank you very much!!

best wishes,
Wai Chan
