Well, I've made an in-depth study of this (i.e. I've thought about it for
about 30 seconds) and I've come to the conclusion that the number of blank
pages produced depends on your printer, your printer driver and settings
thereof, any print manager software you're using and settings thereof, the
application, the phase of the moon, the number of hairs on your left arm
and the number of invocations to dark forces you've made in the past two
weeks.

I will say that ADMaN produces one form feed at the end of its print
cycle, this is to ensure that paper is ejected from line printers. Any
extra pages may be due to any or all of the aforementioned reasons.
