A friend of mine has a Novell server and uses Novell 4.9 client on XP workstations. Since getting new workstations with the new Novell client her HP 8000 DN printer is printing an extra page at the beginning of each print job. The separator page is off and this doesn't happen when an older computer on her network prints. The older computers have an older Novell client, 2.something. She has tried changing drivers for the printer to everything that seems to be available and it keeps doing the same thing. I even had her change to protocal order with no luck.
Ideas????

Have you tried 4.91 client or just deleting the printer and readding it just using the built in drivers from Windows?

She told me that she removed the Novell client and tried an older version then installed the newest version from the Internet. She also used the Microsoft print driver the first time and then tried drivers that she has downloaded from HP.

Try capturing the printer at the command line level and use the switch NFF. If this works you might need to incorporate this somewhere in the scripts you run.

On the Novell red N right clinc and turn off the banner page and the seperator page settings. Just look for those among the settings. I don't have the screen in front of me now.
