You have "public = yes" or a synonym on your printer share(s).

Eliminate that and the banner page with "nobody" will be gone, but be aware of the 
fact that this will possibly brake some things in your configuration: Anonymous 
printing will no longer be possible.

If that hits you, you could try to add something with %u or %U to your print 
command.

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
