Well, I found the solution to my problem.  Just thought it might be 
useful to someone else.  I really feel like slapping myself.  I thought 
the default mode for lp was NoBanner.  But, nooooo.  The -onobanner 
option to lp on the sending end fixed the problem.  Now I've got SCO 
printing on a Linux printer shared via CUPS!  I've got to go calm down.  
Whew!
