Windows 10: Why do all software and printers want to print a one page document with a second blank page?

When printing documents to either my Samsung printer, printing to PDF Microsoft print to PDF and using PDF24 a second blank sheet prints.Paper settings are set to A4 printer default.All 3 examples below and single page A4 documents much less content than A4 so this is not an extra blank line causing a second blank page. Three different printers all want to print a second blank page.

Printer printing blank pages

Regarding the first question, "is the issue with printing the blank pages confined to any specific document/webpages?"

When I thought about that, I realized the printer quit working at least twice as I was trying to print a PDF document from a cruise line regarding a trip. I downloaded it to my desktop and was printing from there. The printer stopped working and started
shooting out blank pages with that document. However, I WAS able to print one sheet front and back from that document before the "shooting of blank pages" started. So this morning, considering your question, I've been printing something else and so far,
it's been working. I was able to print out 3 sheets from my PC.

On the second question, yes, I was able to print from my iPad. I don't really have any documents on there, so I just printed one email.

On No. 3, I don't recall making any hardware/software changes on my device prior to this issue.

I'm not confident yet that it's working, but optimistic!
