[STR New]

Print server is Mac OS X 10.4.1, running CUPS 1.1.23.  This bug seems to be
printer-independent, appearing when printing to Minolta, Kyocera and Fiery
printers.

All of my printers in printers.conf have the line:
JobSheets none none
however, in certain circumstances they will print a jobsheet without fail.
 The circumstances are these: printing to the CUPS machine via LPD from a
NeXT running NeXTSTEP 3.3.  I have isolated the CUPS machine by printing
to the same printers directly from the NeXT, no jobsheet is included.  I
have also shown that the problem is due to an interaction between the NeXT
and the CUPS machine - printing to the same printers via the same CUPS
machine when the client is a Mac (printing via LPD or IPP to the CUPS
server) doesn't produce a jobsheet.  I can see no reason why the jobsheet
should appear in these circumstances, and it is annoying as I cannot print
directly to the Fiery from the NeXT because they don't communicate well. 
Neither can I let go of the past and ditch the NeXT; roughly 130 critical
documents are stored on it in a format only readable by a particular NeXT
application.

This is a regression since CUPS v1.1.19 which I used when the print server
was a Mac OS X 10.3.9 box, and didn't have this bug.
