CUPS Job Name Issue

Here is our current setup:

CUPS Print Server:
SunFire v240
Solaris 10 Update 4 (released 8/07)
CUPS Version 1.3.6

We have left the rest of our Solaris servers using the default Solaris 'lp' commands and added the network printers that the CUPS server is sharing.

Currently, if we try to print a file, we always get a cover page (even though we have setup the CUPS server to have no banners), but with the cover page we get a Job Name in the Jobs listing on the CUPS Server's Web GUI.  Our users do not want a cover page to be printed out, so we've told them to print files by issuing the following command:

# lp -d <printername> -o nobanner <filename>

This command does what was intended - no cover page is printed; however now the Job Name is listed as 'Unknown' in the Jobs listing on the CUPS Server's Web GUI.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this issue, please let me know.  I've checked all of the configuration files and read through the CUPS System Administrators Manual, and couldn't find any information on this issue.

Thank you in advance.
