[Feature] Configurability for MaxJobs and PreserveJobHistory about puppet-cups HOT 3 OPEN

This is really important in my opinion - but:

• PreserveJobFiles: Specifies whether or not to preserve job files after they are printed.
• PreserveJobHistory: Specifies whether or not to preserve the job history after they are printed.
• MaxJobs: Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous jobs to support.

So i think you (and me) want to configure PreserveJobFiles. I don't see an option in the man cupsd.conf to limit the number of preserved print jobs. But it seems to work (apple/cups#3143):

 PreserveJobHistory On
 PreserveJobHistory Off
+PreserveJobHistory 1w
+PreserveJobHistory 7d
+PreserveJobHistory 168h
+PreserveJobHistory 10080m
+PreserveJobHistory 604800

I tested with CUPS 1.6.3 and PreserveJobFiles 1m (minute) and PreserveJobHistory 7d - the jobs (not the history) where cleaned up after a minute and the reprint-button disappeared.

So i vote for two options:

• PreserveJobFiles
• PreserveJobHistory

Allowed values: (On|Yes|Off|NO|[1-9][0-9]*[wdhm]?)

from puppet-cups.

I join your vote, thanks for checking out the correct meaning of these parameters ;-).

from puppet-cups.

maybe you should correct the title: PreserveJobFiles instead of MaxJobs
