I tried to create a dummy printer.

I used printtool and made the device /dev/null

After creating the printer, lpr replies that it can
not communicate with the device, any comments
on what I am doing wrong ?

Error message (from lpc)
lp2:
        cannot open lock file
lp2:
lpc: connect: Connection refused
        couldn't start daemon

and from running lpr:
lpr -Pdummy /etc/groups
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

Here is my printcap for the "printer"

lp2|dummy:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp2:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp2/filter:\

tia ..
