I saved a document from IBM back from September 1999 with these suggestions.
Since the document is old these instructions may be obsolete:

1. Queue print jobs with lp -m so the messages go to user mail instead of
their screen
2. Users perform "mesg -n" to prevent non-root users from writing to their
screen
3. Use lsvirprt to alter the "si" attribute of the virtual printer to alter
the destination of the messages
