[STR New]

This is a MacOSX specific issue and doesn't apply to standard CUPS 1.1.x.

It's happening because NeXTSTEP is sending the 'L' - Print banner page
command in the lpd control file. In MacOSX 10.3.x this would cause a
queue's "job-sheets" value to be used which was usually "none,none". In
10.4 this was changed to add the "standard" banner if the queue's default
was none.

To disable banners add these lines to
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/printer.plist:

diff -u -d -b -w -r1.1 printer.plist
--- printer.plist	2005/01/04 19:30:11	1.1
+++ printer.plist	2005/07/12 18:48:19
