And what about creating my own private *OUTQ, and my own private copy of 
QPRINT (maybe called "NOPRINT," to indicate its purpose) pointing to it, 
and then change the RPG program so it prints to NOPRINT instead of QPRINT.

That would avoid the need for overrides, and any possibility of my 
interfering with something that IS supposed to be printed, but does 
anything else have to be done to guarantee that nothing sent to NOPRINT 
ever reaches a printer without being explicitly sent to one?

(At this point, the jury is still out on whether the spool file is in 
fact being sent to a printer.)
