Can't delete separator page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chananow]

I followed the directions, was able to delete the .sep file in the Windows System 32 folder and it's still printing the separator page. This is annoying not to mention a huge waste of paper and ink.

If you have not done so, disconnect the separator page name in Printer Properties > Advanced

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers

Right-Click on the Printer > Printer Properties

Tab Advanced

Bottom-left, Click Separator Page

Remove any file name in the box

Click OK to save and Exit

Example

Printer_Properties_Separator_Page_1

It wasn't there to begin with, that's why I deleted it from the Windows System 32 folder.

OK.

The solution was worth mentioning - In spite of the many articles on the net, not everyone configures this setting correctly.

Other Ideas..

If the "Separator" file is actually a blank sheet of paper, the cause might be an extra page at the end of the document.  Worth a quick check .    Ignore if not "your issue".

I withdraw graciously.
