The lpadmin(1M) says,
Controlling the Use of the Banner Page
Use the following commands to control the use of the banner
page:
lpadmin -p printer -o nobanner
lpadmin -p printer -o banner
lpadmin -p printer -o banner=always
lpadmin -p printer -o banner=never
lpadmin -p printer -o banner=optional
The first and fifth commands (-o nobanner and -o
banner=optional) are equivalent. The default is to print the

System Administration Commands lpadmin(1M)
banner page, unless a user specifies -o nobanner on an lp
command line.
The second and third commands (-o banner and -o
banner=always) are equivalent. Both cause a banner page to
be printed always, even if a user specifies lp -o nobanner.
The root user can override this command.
So what you do sounds correct, have you tried to set that option at the
remote server rather than on the client side?
