Try adding a form feed character to the interface script for that printer (/etc/lp/interfaces/printername).
For example, if you're using the standard netstandard interface script, you could modify the following section:
[tt] #####
# Print the file
#####
if [ -r "${printfile}" ]
then
(
eval ${NETPR} ${printfile} 2>&1
# Form feed to next page.
echo "\014"
echo $? > ${LPTMPDIR}/pr_eexit_code.$$
) | ${LPTELL} ${LPTELL_OPTS} ${printer}[/tt]
I hope that works!
