In python with the help of pkipplib, a pure Python implementation
of IPP :

--- CUT ---
# Download pkipplib from http://www.pykota.com
from pkipplib import pkipplib

cups = pkipplib.CUPS() # by default http://localhost:631
                       # Doesn't work yet with unix domain sockets
                       
# Retrieve all attributes of job #1563                       
answer = cups.getJobAttributes(1563) 

# Display the one we are interested in 
print answer.job["job-originating-host-name"][0][1]
--- CUT ---

Could this be made simpler than that ?
