:How do I eliminate the extra page that is generated between reports?
:This problem happens on all printers so I'm thinking it must be a setting

Assuming you are not refering to the standard burst, banner, etc.,
settings on the queue, and assuming you are not using a device
control library specific to the device and are not using a print
form on all jobs, then you are using the SY$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB
default library, there is information available on DSNlink, and via
Digital customer support, on suppressing formfeeds.
Here's one possible solution...
Shut down the queues -- the SY$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB device control
library is normally held open by the symbionts.
Find the default form for the queue via SHOW QUEUE/FULL (look at
/DEFAULT=(FORM=form-name), then SHOW QUEUE/FULL/FORM <that-form>
and look for any specific /SETUP.
From SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB, extract the setup-form-name
module -- this assumes no /LIBRARY on the queue -- into a
text file (LIB/EXTRACT=<SETUP-MOD-NAME>/OUTPUT=<SETUP-MOD-NAME>.TXT
SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB).
Edit the text file, adding a <ESC>P at the front, and a <ESC>\ at the
end. (You may or may not want to (need to) to put the <FF> in
front of the first <ESC>P.)
Now make a BACKUP copy of the library:
$ COPY SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB SYSCOMMON:[SYSLIB]SYSDEVCTL_SAVE.TLB
Then replace the module:
$ LIB/REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB <SETUP-MOD-NAME>.TXT
Restart the queues.

Here are two possible RESET-related modules that you might want to
try:
RESET (which resets the printer between each job):
<FF><ESC>P<ESC>E<ESC>\
ISOLATIN1 (selects the ISO-Latin-1 or ECMA-94 character set; this
character set closely resembles the DIGITAL MCS character set
commonly used by OpenVMS):
<ESC>P<ESC>(0N<ESC>\
