Below is a log of a 4 page document that I printed to a private printer. The private printer has duplex turned off, yet the first two log entries seems to be a log for printing the banner page even though it did not get printed.

syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 1 1 - localhost
syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 2 1 - localhost
syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 1 1 - localhost
syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 2 1 - localhost
syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 3 1 - localhost
syslp rmcgraw 127687 [20/Oct/2005:11:15:07 +0500] 4 1 - localhost

The following is the same document printed with the -h (suppress banner).
As you can see the two log entries for the banner page do not show up in the log file.

Why does cups log banner pages when none are printer by the setting in the cups config for the printer.
