Troy,

Go look in $JBCRELEASEDIR/config/jspform_deflt

It is VERY well commented and you can throw commands in here to save the 
print job to a file before or after the print.

You will need to make a copy, calling it something like 
jspform_yourchiceofnames

You can then use SP-TYPE to assign this form to a form queue for your 
printer.

PLEASE NOTE:  You do not use the full name (jspform_yourchiceofnames) in 
the assignment, you ONLY use the second half, i.e.   yourchiceofnames

Alternatively, you can use SP-DEVICE PROG to send the output to a a 
program/script that saves stdin to a file and then pipes the file (as 
stdout) to lpr

HTH
