It has been a long time since I have posted but came across an issue I wanted to put out there. I have been working on deploying Windows 8.1 at a client. They print to printers shared from a Server 2012 virtual machine and the printer on the server has a the default windows PCL separator page file in use (C:\Windows\System32\PCL.sep). When Windows 8 machines print to this share, the job would generate two separator pages before printing the actual file but Windows 7 machines would only generate one separator like it is supposed to. I found a post online about it but it did not have a resolution. In my own testing, I found that the two separator pages would show different Job Ids so I took the text of the default separator file (pcl.sep), removed "\U\LJob : \I" and saved under a new file since I could not edit the original (new file.sep or whatever you want to call it). I pointed the server's instance of the printer to use this new file and now clients connected to this printer print one separator instead of two.
The text of the PCL.sep file:
\
\H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL
\H1B\L&l1T\0
\U\LUsername: \J\L\\\N
\B\S\J\U
\B\S\N\U
\0
\U\LJob : \I
\U\LDate: \D
\U\LTime: \T
\E
The text of my file fixed for Windows 8 usage:
\
\H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL
\H1B\L&l1T\0
\U\LUsername: \J\L\\\N
\B\S\J\U
\B\S\N\U
\0
\U\LDate: \D
\U\LTime: \T
\E
