I use a somewhat different setup:
null|nl|dummy|DUMMY PRINTER:\
:cm=[edv]Dummy printer for testing:\
null:server:\
:sd=/deliver/printers/null
:lp=/dev/null:\
:la:sh:sf:mx#0
Then using 'lpc stop null' I stop the printing. Queuing
remains enabled. Then any print jobs to 'null' wind up,
as you know, as files in the spool directory
/deliver/printers/null and just stay there. They are accessible
to whatever other application wants them.
