Dummy printer
Have a new HP-UX RP5430 with HP-UX 11.00 and Jetdirect software.
I want to create a dummy printer, e.g. test_1 to /dev/nulll ??
(because some log prints come now at my default printer)
Does someone know how ?
Regards,
Geert

Re: Dummy printer
Setup a printer as a remote printer (to an ip or another server/queue). Then modify the driver in /var/spool/lp/interface/
Change the rlp line almost at the bottom, comment it out, and it wont get to the print queue.
I think its much easier to create a print queue, disable it, then print to it (but it wont print), then cancel the print job.

Re: Dummy printer
#lpadmin -p
#lpsched
# accept printer_name
# enable printer_name
are the steps to configure a dummy printer.
