    Hi,
    set up a printq that uses /dev/null as the device.

    as root, run "redhat-config-printer". That will bring up a gui printer tool.
    Under Action, select "New queue"
    on about the 3rd screen under "Queue Type" click on "Custom device" and enter
    "/dev/null"

    You can also change an existiong printers device to /dev/null under Action
    ->"Edit queue".
