Unwanted report page on printer
Printer
Officejet Pro 8100. Prints a summary page with each print job, detailing Media Limits, Job ID, Driver, Description, Make and Model, Printer Created at, Printed at. This wastes paper, particularly if I am printing photographs, and it takes some time to print the report. OS is Xubuntu 12.04, and the report is printed by any app that can print, documents or photos.
I have run hp-check -t and the result is:

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
