I'm pretty sure that's a configuration issue.  It's like when you see 
"your.domain.here" in some configs. ...you don't have to register 
"domain.here" to use that app do you ;)

I wouldn't personally be creating another directory off / just for the sake of 
this.  (yes, I use djbdns...) As suggested, /var/tmp, or maybe some network 
share so other users can use your "printer" would be better.
