Equivalent content of /var/spool/cups here. A quick vi of one of the
files (they're binary so don't cat them :-o) reveals the content to be
some kind of a job record.
If nothing else, looks like there just needs to be a cron job that
deletes the files older than some reasonable vintage (31 days?).

Dave
