Given that you are printing to HP printers (at least it appears so from
the names of the printers in your printcap) via LPD, it is likely that
the banner pages are being generated by the printers themselves. This is
one of those hateful things that HP printers do by default to make your
life confusing and challenging. You can tell it is an HP banner if it is
a simple, four line long banner (I forget the exact wording of the
contents, but the four lines should be enough of a tipoff). The only way
to stop HP printers from printing the banner with every LPD submitted
job is by telnetting to the printer and typing "banner: 0", hit return
and then type "quit" and return to save and exit - it isn't possible to
change this on the front panel or with the JetDirect utility. Good luck!
