So you would need to go run a script or check all your printers for the
output of each print queue and then fix the one in error.  Let's see,
you would need to run the command 'lpstat -v' against all of your print
queues and you probably will find one that is trying to output to
/printer/null.

HTH and have a GREAT day!

I get the same thing:

^CROOT @ STLPR112F # ls -al /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     system        2,  2 12 May 15:55 /dev/null
ROOT @ STLPR112F #
ROOT @ STLPR112F # ls -al /printers/null
/printers/null not found

So, where is it coming from or what's causing the error?
