I suspect it is never harmful within our lpr. Not sure about
how lprNG or various other things would treat it. My guess
is it should never be harmful.
In fact, I'm inclined to say both the 'C' and 'P' lines should
be moved out of that conditional block. The only thing that
really triggers a header sheet is the 'L' line, and there are
other processes which might want that 'P' line to be there even
if the header sheet is off.
I could put that change into lpr in -current, if you want. It
should probably sit there for a little while just to make sure it
doesn't cause any problems when sent to other lpr implementations.
(which is to say, this will not make 4.2-release...)
