I had a similar need when we changed printers and PCs quite a while 
back--but the exact *opposite* (I kept getting paper-wasting banner 
pages when I didn't want them)--and I had consulted our Technology 
Services staff.  Maybe this will work for you:

In Windows98 (I think Windows95 was nearly identical), go to Start / 
Settings / Printers / <rightclick the desired printer> / Properties / 
Printer Settings / <click Enable Banner checkbox> / OK.
