[cups.general] Blank page printed after each job

Hi everyone,

I am using CUPS 1.3.7 as part of Ubuntu 8.04 on an i386 architecture 
computer with an HP LaserJet 3030 printer (Foomatic/hpijs 2.8.2 driver). 
The printer is connected via a printer server at lpd://192.168.0.1/lpt1.

My problem is that after each job (be it a test page, printing from 
OpenOffice, Firefox etc.) a blank page is output. This seems to be the 
same problem as in numerous other cases, e.g. see

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.cups.general/4178/
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.cups.general/8825/

I already tried to set ps_accounting to 0 in both 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic and /etc/foomatic/filter.conf and 
rebooted the computer, but this did not help. I can't believe that this 
is a problem which seems to exist for years and no one knows an answer! 
I would be willing to debug this and provide more information if you 
just give me a pointer.

Thanks in advance!


Markus
