You have 2 choices, depending on whether it was actually printed or not. Just because something is routed to the [usually system] print queue does necessarily mean it will get physically printed. A lot of times printouts sit in the [system] print queue with a print class different from the one the system printer is currently started with, or with a hold disposition. If that's the case then your first choice is to simply transfer it back to your virtual reader queue.

If it's actually being physically printed however (i.e. trees are actually being burnt) and you don't want that to happen, then your second choice is the change whatever 'spool' command there is in your profile exec to spool things back to yourself instead (or add such a statement if one doesn't already exist).
