Correct Configuration for a NULL Printer as default printer
I've configured a NULL printer with an output device as /dev/null. I set it as the default printer. I do an enable and accept on it. Somehow, when I print to the NULL printer it reroutes the print job to a real printer and the NULL printer is in a down/not accepting requests state. When I do an "accept NULL" - it no longer reoutes the print job but the job stays in the NULL queue and just won't get flushed to the NULL device even if I re-enable the queue.
11i system. /dev/null is fine.
What am I doing wrong?

Re: Correct Configuration for a NULL Printer as default printer
Thanks..
The problem was the print jobs get stuck on the NULL quque and never gets flushed out to the /dev/null device.
It turns out the NULL printer was created w/o the right interface. I used the "dumb" interface and everything's working fine now.
