Supress print requests to the printer output queue

[bhoang]

Is it possible to suppress the print requests to the output queue of a network printer? The user prefers not to have the reports printed, and does not want them filling up the printer output queue at the same time. The reports might be needed in the future, so the printer cannot be deleted from the local spooler at this time.
TIA

use the 'reject' command on the print queue.

'man reject' for more information, but in a nutshell reject will prevent any jobs from queueing to that printer.

You could also disable the printer so nothing prints if things do happen to get in the queue.

Thanks Patrick. The 'reject' command is the one i'm looking for.
