[STR New]

Hi,

I'm using either CUPS 1.3.9 or CUPS 1.4.4 on SLES 11 SP 1. In both cases,
I get starting banners for any printjob that is issued from my SAP boxes.
Other printjobs do not cause those banners.

I know this effect from CUPS 1.2.3 (on Solaris 10). We solved it by using
CUPS 1.1.8, which did not add this banner. With CUPS 1.2.x, it helped to
simply delete or rename the banner page (/usr/share/cups/banner/standard),
but with CUPS 1.3/1.4 this workaround causes nothing to be printed.

Providing an empty file (0 bytes) does not help - no output. Providing a
file with the original content, but each line commented out, brings an
empty page first.

The part of the rror log reads

How can I tell CUPS not to bring out a banner at all? The printer's entry
in /etc/cups/printer.conf reads:

Oh, and of course inside SAP any banner printing is disabled.
