Yah, this all sounds so familiar.  The problem here is that when you use
lpd to talk to the printer, there is just no way in the world to turn
off the banner page.  The solution is to not talk lpd to the printer.
Instead print directly to port 9100.  Change your printcaps to look like
this:

charla1|charla1:\
 :lp=9100@rm=10.0.0.45:\
 :lf=/var/log/lpd1-errs:\
 :sd=/var/spool/output/charla1:

I should bill you for this.  I spent days figuring this out.  :-)
