crontab output to printer, emails to root 2

[peterve]

I have schedules a couple of scripts to run on our Red Hat EL AS4.
One of the jobs is sending the output to a printer.
In most cases, there will be no output at all,
but I'm still getting spammed with emails with the following content :
"stdin is empty, so no job has been sent"

How can I suppress these messages ? (and only get something when something was printed ?)

redirect the output of the job to dev/null including errors and the emails should stop

I use:
myscript.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

to get cron output to shutup for me
