Robert,
The banner page is almost certainly, as Johan has written, the printer's
built in banner page. If it is an HP printer, the only way to prevent
this page from being printed with LPD jobs (it won't get printed if you
instead use port 9100) is to connect to the printer via a telnet session
and type
banner: 0
at the command line you get followed by
quit
(don't use exit, as this is to leave without saving your changes). You
can't do it via the front panel or via HP's Jet Direct utility (bummer,
huh).
And ditto what Johan and Christoph said about using the lpd_bounce
option.
Good luck. Let me know if this works for you.
