LOL!!

That is a banner page.  Unfortunately, I can't tell you WHO is creating
it, but it is part of the LPD protocol that your Linksys is using.  I
remember having similar fights with print servers before.

Step one is to look in CUPS config.  If you are LUCKY, that will solve the
problem.

Point a browser at    localhost:631

Click on Manage Printers      (you will have to login to it as root)
Click on Configure Printer   for your printer 

Then see if there is a "BANNER" setting on the page.
