I haven't experience with CTI-ifhp and banners but I tested shortly
and my printcap:
lp|lj|hplj|toshiba|HP Laserjet:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj:\
:if=/usr/sbin/ljet2p-filter:\
:bp=/usr/sbin/lpbanner:sh@:of=/usr/sbin/lpf:\
:pw#72:pl#60:px#1440:mx#0:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
with /usr/sbin/lpbanner and /usr/sbin/lpf from lprng, and
/usr/sbin/ljet2p-filter from magic-filter
is working.
