The banner templates in /usr/share/cups/banners/*  are ignoring the
plain text output that should be available according to the CUPS banner
spec[1].  Confirmed in Raring & Saucy tests.

WORKAROUND:

a) Create a PDF with the banner information you'd like 
b) save the PDF file to /usr/share/cups/data/ 
c) edit the corresponding banner file to call your new PDF. 
**NOTE** the "show" references in the banner file WILL overlay so you can keep 
them if you wish. 

Example: 
$ cat secret 
#PDF-BANNER 
Template notsecret.pdf 
Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model 
printer-driver-name printer-driver-version paper-size imageable-area job-id 
options time-at-creation time-at-processing
