I know there is a way of suppressing the banner page
by modifying a variable(?) in a particular file.
Problem is I don't know which file it is. Any clues?

Look in '/usr/spool/lp/interface/your_printer_name' on the machine
where the printer is physically attached.

  The variable to set is BANNER (=0). Be sure to stop/start the printer
scheduler to make the change effective (/usr/lib/lpshut and
/usr/lib/lpsched).

look in the file /usr/spool/lp/interface/nameofprinter where nameofprinter
is the name of the printer that you want to turn the banner off on...in that
script file look for BANNER= line.  The script comments explain the setting of
either setting it for 1 to have banners print or setting it to 0 for turning
banners off.

In the /usr/spool/lp/interface directory, edit your printer file (e.g.
PostScript) and look about 50 lines down for the line "BANNER=1" and
change that to "BANNER=0".
