Anyone know how to print to a file rather than a printer in HP-UX 11.11?

Try this:

Code: 
touch /tmp/testprinter
chown lp:lp /tmp/testprinter
lpshut
lpadmin -ptestprinter -v/tmp/testprinter -mdumb
lpsched
accept testprinter
enable testprinter
ls -l | lp -d testprinter

Looks good thanks Annihilannic. Just want to verify that this wont affect any other printers on our system? Thanks.

Unless you already happen to have a print queue called "testprinter", no... except for that brief moment between lpshut and lpsched when the LP daemon isn't running, no-one will be able to print.
