Hi,
set up a printq that uses /dev/null as the device.

as root, run "redhat-config-printer". That will bring up a gui printer tool.
Under Action, select "New queue"
on about the 3rd screen under "Queue Type" click on "Custom device" and enter 
"/dev/null"

You can also change an existiong printers device to /dev/null under Action 
->"Edit queue".
