Printer directed at /dev/null still spools requests

I have an app that MUST print but we don't want the output. directing the printer to /dev/null seemed like the answer. However, jobs sent to that printer are still spooled and held. What could be the problem?

any help would be appreciated.

You should clean the spool, one way is using lpsta -a and with all the numbres of the printing jobs, to cancel 1 by 1 is used "cancel xxx-###", where xxx means name of the spool or printer and ### the id of the job, another way is entering into the spool management, select all and then delete them, hope this help you, in the version 5.0.5 and 5.0.7 of SCO Unix you enter by scoadmin, then to printer and later to print job manager, godd luck!!!
