[K12OSN] Cups deleting jobs

[Petre Scheie]

Those are all the unprinted jobs.  The c123456 file is the control file, which 
contains info about which printer the job is supposed to be delivered to.  The 
d123456 file is the data file which is the data to be printed.  Yes, a script 
that removes those files would clear the queue.  But a better approach would be 
to figure out why those jobs aren't getting printed.
