Create your own dummy output queue and force your output
to that queue so they're not printed...?

Subject: Another dumb question I ought to already know the
answer to: making sure spool files don't get printed

For technical support purposes, we have accounts on a number of our
customers' systems.

On some of them, we're set up so that any spool files we
create go to a
live printer.

We don't do that around our OWN office (let's face it,
repeated hardcopy
compilation listings of 23K-line MI programs do nobody any
good!), and
we CERTAINLY don't want our spool files printed instantly at some
printer we don't have access to, so that we never get to see
them, and
just waste the customer's paper.

But it seems like every time I try to do this, it takes
forever, and I'm
never quite sure what I actually did.

What is the quickest, easiest way to alter our account so
that the spool
files we create never get printed unless we explicitly send them to a
live printer, and instead just sit in their output queues
indefinitely?
