The printing works correctly if I print a document from e.g. LibreOffice
Calc  or an email message from the Evolution mail client:  requested
content is printed and no empty page produced.

So, up till now I found only Evince to be producing an empty page at the
end of each printing request sent to the HP LaserJet p2055dn printer
("HP-BW").

Title:
  empty page printed at the end

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  (This bug started to occur only recently; it may indicate that this
  bug was imported in one of recent updates related to printing.)

  We have a   HP LaserJet p2055dn   printer on our network. It has a
  usual IP address and some configurations settings. See attached files.

  When I send a PDF document [or just selected page(s) from  it] on the
  printer, one empty page is printed at the end.  This is especially
  annoying when I need to print several copies of a single-page
  document. I stress that I have duplex printing off when printing
  1-page document. (Anyway this should not matter.)

  When I print the same document or a page of it from the Google Chrome
  built-in document viewer, everything is OK: requested pages are
  prinited and that is all; no empty page produced.

  My most recent test of this odd behaviour was accomplished using a
  public document

  http://www.kf.elf.stuba.sk/prakticke/EmisiaElektronov_20110917.pdf

  (note that this link may change in near future).

  In attachment I am sending the /etc/cups/printers.conf  file  (with IP
  addressed partially overwritten in order not to disclose them to
  public).

  I will send also head and last line of the  /etc/cups/ppd/HP-BW.ppd
  file which has likely something to do with the buggy printing. (I am
  not sending the whole file as it has some copyright statement .)

  Interestingly, when I send the document (actually a selected page of
  it) on other printer on our local network, it works correctly, i.e.
  the page is printed and there is no empty. This other printer is a HP
  Color LaserJet 2605dn.
