Let $F$ be a local field. Is there a reference for the following fact:

No supercuspidal representation of $GL_2(F)$ has an Iwahori-fixed vector?

I have a proof, by I'd prefer a reference, because it is not enlightening.

Rough sketch of proof: We can easily see that Iwahori-fixed vector implies depth-zero and that depth-zero supercuspidal are induced from $GL_2(o)$ times the center, hence correspond modulo central characters to supercuspidal of $GL_2(o/p)$. The proof of the second conclusion is somewhat messy in my exposition.

I quote from one of my papers (On Bernstein's presentation of Iwahori-Hecke algebras and representations of split reductive groups over non-Archimedean local fields, Bulletin of the Kerala Mathematics Association, Special issue on Harmonic Analysis and Quantum Groups, December 2005, also available from http://arxiv.org/abs/math.GR/0506094)

"Casselman, using some techniques of Jacquet, showed that under the correspondence described by Borel, the irreducible admissible representations of G(F) coming from irreducible H-modules are precisely those that occur as subquotients (or equivalently, subrepresentations) of the unramified principal series of G(F ) [Cas80, Proposition 2.6]. It is implicit in Proposition 2.5 of this article that the Jacquet module of such a representation with respect to a minimal parabolic subgroup corresponds to restriction to a certain commutative subalgebra of H (later identified by Bernstein)."

The reference is to:
