There are almost 100 of them there now. While it's not a big issue on
the wasted space front it is a bit of a nuisance when looking in /tmp
for files which should be there. It looks like a bug to me, if it is I
will report it.
I saw this on my system as well, but only for the first three jobs I ran
before I made changes to not save print jobs. I always do the following
on a new system:
1. Add the following line to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:
PreserveJobHistory No
The change takes effect on the next boot (there's probably a way to
just restart CUPS, too).
2. Clear any existing print jobs:
rm /var/spool/cups/c*
I hope this helps.
