Old post alert - the OP was made in Jan 2020.
Fixed, really simple, and wanted to share.

When printing through a remote output queue to the new HP M404 printers we
get an extra first page.
The extra first page has a capital "E" on the first line, first position,
that's all and then the report prints as expected.
I opened a case with IBM and we did some debugging (TRCCCN/Wireshark).
IBM says the printer is printing a portion of the PCL command and the
problem is with HP.
UPDATE:
We had this happen recently.
Fixed by changing Host Print Transform Manufacturer Type & Model in the
remote output queue description.
From *RICOHAP3200 to *RICOHAP4510.
