[STR New]

We have a debian linux box which receives print jobs from a SCO OpenServer
Release 5 machine by lpd.

With CUPS 1.1.23 this worked fine.  We have just updated the box to the
current debian stable release which runs CUPS 1.2.7 and now jobs being
submitted from the SCO machine are not working.

Specifically, banner pages are being added that never were before (and the
printers are set to not use banners by default), including on raw printer
queues and the job data itself appears to be missing.

If we amend the lp command on the SCO box to use the "nobanner" option
then the banner pages stop being added, but jobs still have no data.  They
show as 0 bytes in the queue and /var/log/cups/error.log shows:

I [20/Aug/2007:22:15:37 +0100] Adding start banner page "none" to job
