I had this problem with an HP LJ4Si for a few years until I finally got stubborn enough to upgrade the firmware so that it would actually turn off the banner page (the upgrade was an ugly process involving borrowing a Win95 box installing their JetDirect Java gizmo, enabling Windows networking on the printer, upgrading the firmware,...)
