Hi,

I am trying to setup a print queue that will send print jobs to /dev/null in a test environment. The server is running Linux Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz). I executed the following lpadmin command to create the "print" queue.

lpadmin -p nowhere -E -v file:/dev/null

When I attempt to print to the queue I see the error message:
 who |lp -d nowhere
lp: unable to print file: client-error-not-found

What else do I need to do? Do I need to create a some sort of backend? I'm not sure what the backend filter would need to do.

Thanks,
Betz
