Set "FileDevice Yes" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart cupsd.

Use "lpstat -v queue-name" and note the current DeviceUri.

Change the DeviceUri to send output to file using
lpadmin -p queue-name -v /tmp/file.prn

Do a test print.
Output is now in /tmp/file.prn

Change the DeviceUri back to the original value:
lpadmin -p queue-name -v noted-DeviceUri


Kind Regards,
