In general our printer files go to an output queue which is not assigned
to any printer. BPCSOUTQ comes to mind. So they have to conscientiously
move it to a different output queue to get it to print. As others have
said, you can also put the printer file so that it comes up on hold
automatically.
CHGPRTF FILE(MYFILE) OUTQ(BPCSOUTQ) HOLD(*YES)
If you want it so they can absolutely not print it then you have different
options, like, stop using a printer file. Output directly to file, html,
etc.
Another option is to output directly to PDF
CHGPRTF FILE(MYFILE) TOSTMF('/home/ROB/MyPrintFile.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)
