Alt-P from Window Generating hundreds of blank pages (AREV Specific)

A client of ours uses AREV2.12. They sometimes have a problem with Alt-P printing extra blank pages. For example, the normal size of the print job would be 3-4K, but they sometimes get 130K print jobs. All the correct info appears, but is followed by blank pages. Any ideas… ?

From a window or from a report?
Is this one station/user or random?
Can you determine when it will happen and capture the output to a file?
If you have the output to a file, is it loaded with form feeds charsa or blank line?

The Alt-P problem is from a window. It is very predictable. Every time they use Alt-P from a window they create a huge print file.
More than one user on different PC's are having the problem and they claim it never happened before they switched to Windows95. They have switched back to 3.11 for a different reason, but that did not change the outcome of the Alt-P.
I did have them capture the print and the end of the print job is packed with Carriage Control/ Line Feed chars. ASCII chars 13 and 10, over and over. In the file they sent there were 65,455
extra CR/LF combinations after the last print line.
