How do I suppress the banner page on my printer?

To disable the banner pages permanently perform the following steps:



  1. cd /usr/lib/lp/model
  2. cp standard standard-nobanner
  3. Use your favorite editor to edit file standard-nobanner.
    Around line 332, change this from:
    nobanner="no"
    to:
    nobanner="yes"
  4. lpadmin -p PRINTERNAME -m standard-nobanner


Note: unchecking the "Always print banner" box in admintool or running
"lpadmin -p st -o nobanner"
only allows users to submit print requests
with no banners (lp -onobanner filenamehere), but doesn't suppress
printing of banner pages by default.
