I guess you have to configure your printserver box correctly
so that it does no longer emit an additional formfeed character,
see your documentation of your printserver box.
E.g. you may use a different queue name instead of "lpt1"
which does not emit an additional formfeed character
if possible, see your documentation of your printserver box.

Alternatively use the "AppSocket Protocol" instead of LPD, see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html

I can't believe that it is a problem to find possible answers
via Google - at least I found several possible reasons
and many answers.
