Yes, the output contains

%%Page: 2 2
showpage

%%Trailer
%%Pages: 2

But as Michael stated before, the reason is that I use foomatic drivers ...

Just two more questions:
1.) Wouldn't it be better to run pstops _after_ foomatic-rip?
2.) I I switch back to the native printer ppd files, how can I force all 
windows clients to reload the printer driver?
