The following code works on many printers, but since it is a
device-specific language extension, it's not guaranteed to work on all
of them. It is, however, the only way to turn off the startup page and
will probably do the trick on your printer:
%!
serverdict begin 0 exitserver % where 0 is your password
statusdict begin
false setdostartpage
end
