Try $ lpoptions -l -d <PrinterName> -- that would list options that written in CUPS ppd file, which defines printer configuration, including banners, etc. you can change any option with '-o option=value' or remove option with '-r option'. Check `man lpoptions`
I've always used the browser to administer cups. Try going to http://YOUR_IP:630 (or is it 631?) and you should get a cups web page. I think you can use your root account to log into it and manage print jobs, add/delete printers, etc. Neil
