Problem printing from AutoCAD LT, where a blank page is printed after the job

My setup is win7 and win8 PC's with AutoCAD LT 2012 or 2013 and printing is done on an OKI ES8451.

The printer is setup with the newest Postscript driver from OKI.

 

The problem is when the users print from AutoCAD, they'll get the job on the first page and an additional blank page. This only happens from Autocad, printing from Office or Notepad doesn't cause an exstra page to be printed.

 

I tried to install the PCL driver for this printer, and with this driver we don't see this problem.

 

Anybody seen or heard of this kind of problem before ?

 

Kind regards

Lars

AutoCAD only plots single pages. Always has, still does.
AutoCAD does not support or take advantage of postscript drivers: total waste of time and effort, there is no gain at all.
If I plot to my three HP printers and plotters using HP's postscript drivers I don't get any extra blank sheets. But only programs like Photoshop are best served with those drivers, in AutoCAD they add nothing at all. So we use PCL all the way.

Hope that clears things up for you.
