Good suggestions. Tried them and still, no "/printers/null":

stlpr112f:./cups> tail -100 error_log >/tmp/foo
stlpr112f:./cups> grep null /tmp/foo
E [12/May/2006:16:16:20 +0000] print_job: resource name '/printers/null' no good
!
E [12/May/2006:16:16:56 +0000] print_job: resource name '/printers/null' no good
!
E [12/May/2006:16:28:07 +0000] print_job: resource name '/printers/null' no good
!
E [12/May/2006:16:33:24 +0000] print_job: resource name '/printers/null' no good
!
stlpr112f:./cups> cd /etc/opt/TWWfsw/cups1123
stlpr112f:./cups1123> grep -i null printers.conf
stlpr112f:./cups1123>

Any other ideas? :)
