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

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.
