Regarding the workaround,  "a) Create a PDF with the banner information
you'd like".

How does one create a PDF that is a template?  
So that things like job-originating-user-name will be filled in?

Title:
  Banner pages broken in Cups 1.5.3

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) The release of Ubuntun used:
  Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
  Release:        12.04

  2) The version of the package
  # apt-cache policy cups
  cups:
    Installed: 1.5.3-0ubuntu6

  3) Expected behavior:

  I attempted to configure my local printer to use the the
  "confidential" CUPS banner page through the web based gui.  I have
  included a snippet of  the /etc/cups/printers.conf file to show that
  the change was applied corectly.

  snippet from /etc/cups/printers.conf
  ...
  </Printer>
  <Printer ITG-1320>
  Info Color Printer
  Location Printer Room
  DeviceURI lpd://PRINTSERVER/ITG-1320
  State Idle
  StateTime 1308899498
  Accepting Yes
  Shared Yes
  JobSheets confidential none
  QuotaPeriod 0
  PageLimit 0
  KLimit 0
  OpPolicy default
  ErrorPolicy stop-printer
  </Printer>
  ...

  When I print a test page I get a blank template page (see attached
  jpeg) followed by the correct ubuntu modified cups test page.

  I get the same output (once again, see the attached jpeg) for any
  banner page selected and applied.

  I have even attempted to replace the contents of
  /usr/share/data/confidential with the following:

  #CUPS-BANNER
  Show job-id job-name job-originating-user-name job-originating-host-name job-billing
  Header Confidential
  Footer Confidential

  however I still get the blank template page.
