On VMS V2, the only reasonable way is to assign sys to the null device.

The 780 I use is a Field Test site for VMS V3. I noticed today that this problem has been corrected in V3 by adding two qualifiers to the SUBMIT command:

/KEEP - don't delete the log file after printing.

/[NO]PRINTER - Send (don't send) the log file to the printer. /NOPRINTER implies /KEEP.
