The Canon Pixma 3620 prints a blank page after each job.
The system runs the newest Linux Mint version.
The printer is linked via USB to the laptop.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a solution to prevent it?

Most probably a "separator page" is involved. Various printers often include an empty page or, if allowed by settings, a print job labeling feature on it. This labeling usually contains user details such as time, date, print job, etc., using default values or input from the user. It seems there should be a configuration option in the printer's menu to turn this feature on or off.

This particular printer model:

Can be found under the printer's admin menus for such an option. The labeling function might appear differently. If a configuration report is available, it should indicate whether this feature is enabled or not.

Unfortunately, the online manuals are quite complex to navigate. Each feature can also be hidden or confusing.

Another possible clue:

Some applications might offer a similar function or page to create an extra sheet. Microsoft is also addressing this issue:

Summary: It is highly likely that a separator page exists. The responsible party must be identified and adjusted to prevent it from appearing.

If the blank page appears in the preview, display only the pages containing text.
