I faced a similar problem and solved it as follows. In my environment the HP printer was putting out a banner with small letters and a TRAILING banner at that (useless). I suppressed the trailing banner using the utility available when telneted to the printer. (My guess was that other print drivers (e.g. from WinNT machines) were suppressing this default banner and creating their own banner with big letters; as no one has complained in about a year I seem to have been correct.) I then created my own banner page with a filtering script that also "bounces" the print job from the default queue to the HP printer.
