See the man page on lpadmin - there is a "nobanner" and "banner" option. Banner is default.

Controlling the Use of the Banner Page

nobanner
Allow a user to submit a print request specifying that
no banner page be printed.

banner
Force a banner page to be printed with every print
request, even when a user asks for no banner page.
This is the default. Specify -o nobanner to allow
users to specify -o nobanner with the lp command.

Note the following if that does not help (reverse engineer it!):
Quote:
Disabling the banner page in Sun OS 5.x (Solaris 2.x) environment:

NeWSprint printer:

1. Change to the printer spooling directory on the printer server.

e.g. /etc/lp/printers/<printername>

2. Set BANNERPS and TRAILERPS to nullin .param file:

e.g. BANNERPS=; export BANNERPS
TRAILERPS=; export TRAILERPS

HP Jetdirect printers (using jetadmin):

1. Change directory to /etc/lp/interfaces/model.orig

2. Edit the file named after the printer:

change banner="no" (or "yes") to banner=""

All other printers:

1. Change to the /etc/lp/interfaces/<printername> directory.

2. Edit the file named after the printer:

change nobanner="no" to nobanner="" (or "yes")

If the printer you are printing to is a remote printer, your only options are:

1. Set up the remote printer with "Banner Required? No" and send your
jobs with:

lp -d printername -o nobanner file

2. Shut off the banner in one of the above ways on the print server.
Also note that some printers may need to have the banner turned on -

Quote:
If the printer is an HP with Jetdirect card you need to
telnet into the jetdirect card (telnet <pingname of prtr>
then hit cr twice) to get to the internal menu. There is
a banner option that needs to be turned off. Follow the
instructions in the menu to turn it off.
