To setup a dummy printer you need to setup an interface file and call it anything you wish. In this example it is called unixinterface.
1. Create unixinterface in /etc/lp/interface and type in the following,
exit 0
make sure unixinterface is owned by lp and group lp and the file permissions is 755/
2. A printer queue must be registered. To setup a printer called "unixprt" perform the following
lpadmin -p unixprt -v /dev/null -I any -i /etc/lp/interface/unixinterface -o nobanner

accept unixprt
enable unixprt
