I installed the driver following this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1671378
It worked very well for months, and suddenly started this strange behavior. Tried to reinstall the driver with the same thread and nothing.

My issue is quite similar to those:

The difference is my printer is Epson instead of HP

UPDATE:

I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits, installed n10&n11 stylus driver and there is no problem. But an interesting thing:
go to printers-> double click epson l200->configuration and click "print test page"
this page is the same "extra page" I have in Ubuntu 12.04, unique difference is the "test page" has some images showing the different colours like magenta, black, blue, green etc just like this http://www.danmaher.com/images/printer1.jpg

So, the bug is not an "extra page" but an extra "printer test page" without images.

summary: - Epson L200 printer is printing an extra page
+ Epson L200 printer is printing an extra "printer test page"
