That sounds like a problem with the driver.  When you say "I use my own
driver," do you mean you wrote it?  If so, you'll have to debug it.  If
you're using a supplied driver, I'd contact the author and discuss the
issue with him or her.  Try to tie down the specific trip point (number
of pages, number of bytes, etc.)  That will help the debugging process.

Oh, and we prefer bottom-posting on this list.

-------------------------
This driver works already 10 years on SCO systems
He does the same thing with 2 different drivers, laserjet5 and
oki320-Microline-needleprinter
The same driver works with MSWindows. I configured the printers on
WinXpPro and skipped Linux (transparent printing on a
terminalemulator).It worked.
The strange thing is that it prints exactly 2 times, without losing
anything.
I had the same problem on another installation.

Couldn't there be some kind of setting where the spooler resends the
printing, when he thinks the printing was not correct? Or can it be that
the printing is to fast? (I print in charactermode, so it is very fast)
I never had this problem with SCO, where offcourse CUPS is not used but
lpd.

Probably like always I will be the only one in this world to have this
problem.

I still thank you for the prompt reaction.
