samba - Oct 2005 - Printing to /dev/null ?

Hi list!

I need a Samba printer that will route all printjobs to /dev/null
(We have accounting software that requires every invoice to be printed 
before it can be booked and the invoice data is imported from other 
software so it's just wasting paper).

I tried creating a printer in cups with a printer URI of /dev/null but 
that doesn't work, the print jobs are just piling up and never disappear.

Anyone know a solution for such an unusual printer in Samba?

Thanks!

	The accounting software is F/OSS?
	I'm curious because I'm looking for a nice F/OSS
accounting software. :o)

	Just an idea, did you try to setup a "print command"
and redirect it to /dev/null? Instead of using cups-api with
Samba or setup a Printer with /dev/null, you could setup a
printer to run a command and then redirects it to /dev/null,
not sure if it is going to work. Good luck.

	Kind regards,
