I run an HP inkjet (and have had one or two ther relatively cheap
printers in the past) that never did this running from Samba. It sounds
more like a problem with the .ppd, either on the Samba box or on the Win
box. If jobs on the server itself don't print the extra page, try
setting up the network printer as a generic {PCL,PS} printer and see how
that goes, or if that's the current setup, try loading the right drivers
for it in windows. It may be a known bug that I've never stumbled
across, but it should be correctable.
