CUPS in RHEL 8 may not print reports when banner pages (job-sheets) are used

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When sending reports to PCL printers (i.e. not queues defined with a Postscript PPD) that have the configuration parameters "JobSheets standard none" and/or "job-sheets=standard", the banner (i.e. "Job Sheet") page is printed but the actual report is never printed. If we set the configuration to "JobSheets none none"/"job-sheets=none" then the report does get printed.
