I'm sorry, I was not clear, I tend to be that way some times!  ;-)

The command would be:

lpstat -v QUEUENAME and then ENTER 

Example, I have a queue name of IMAP12

lpstat -v IMAP12

Would return:
device for IMAP12: socket://10.1.1.55:9100

Or even:
lpstat -v TSDFLT
Returns:
device for TSDFLT: /dev/null

You would do this for each of the queues.

OR  

Go to your printers.conf file (ours is at cd /etc/cups) and then you can
'grep null printers.conf' to at least find out if it is in that file.
To find out which printer it is you could view printers.conf in the
/etc/cups directory (or where ever yours is stored) and then just search
for null (i.e. /\/null).

HTH, have a GREAT day!

Thanks for your suggestions. I've tried that one too but no
luck. I've even searched the config files, etc but no reference
to /printers/null. I'm confused!

ROOT @ STLPR112F # lpstat -v|grep -i null

Thanks for your help.
