This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
Sergey Berezniker was able to make Cathy's idea work great for me even in my quite complicated report case. I believe, he should create a FAQ on this one, but here is a brief description:

1) Add a field in GroupFooter as Cathy described.

2) Create 2 report variables: BlankPage (.f. .f., reset at the end of the group) and BlankPageExpected (.f. .f. reset at the end of page).

3) In GroupFooter on Entry
_VFP.SetVar('BlankPageExpected', MOD(_PAGENO, 2) = 1)
4) In PageFooter on Exit
_VFP.SetVar('BlankPage',  BlankPageExpected)
Put Print Where condition for all your objects
not BlankPage
That's it. The Blank page is generated.

There was another little problem (In my report I put County/City at the top (header) and repeat in footer). This was not printed correctly, however, it's also solved by setting variable county_city in Report's DE as public (release in Report's DE Destroy) and put
NVL(_VFP.SetVar('county_city', alltrim(county15)+" / "+city), '') + iif(vartype(llHidePrinting)="L",HidePrinting(),'')
in the PageHeader OnEntry.

I would not be able to do it without Cathy's and Sergey's help.

=========================================================
BTW, on the side note I think, my own first idea should work in one pass as well (as long as you don't do Report Preview).

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
