You are using access method L to print from within the SAP system on a remote printer in UNIX. This printer sends the print request to another host spooler.
Some spoolers (for example Novell) attach an empty page to every SAP printout.
SAP pads the last page of every printout with blank lines in order to output the last page from the printer. This works for most spoolers, but some still generate another form feed at the end, resulting in an additional empty page.
The problem can often be avoided by adjusting the relevant UNIX command (profile parameter rspo/host_spool/print), or with a modification in the host spooler. The following table lists print options (which resolve the problem) for the various operating systems.
UNIX Derivative Title page Blank page Titlepage&Blankpage
SUN/AIX lpr -h lpr -J/nff lpr -J/nff/nb
HP/UX lp -onb lp -onff lp -onb -onff
rlp -h rlp -J/nff rlp -J/nff/nb
Solaris lp -onobanner lp -onofilebreak -onobanner nofilebreak
In addition, it is possible that network card, printer boxes or the PC's network software adds the form feed. In these cases, it is often possible to log on to the corresponding print demon with telnet. The demon offers the telnet session a menu which, among other things, allows you to create form feed rules.
