[cups-devel] how to get the page info of a canceled job?

Hi 闫崇军,

You could get the page count directly from the job itself which would be cached under /var/spool/cups/ for example Job# 12345 it would be:
    /var/spool/cups/d12345-001

The "d" files are the "data" files, i.e.print job files and are typically gzipped Postscript file or  gzipped PDF files. 

The "c" files (e.g. /var/spool/cups/c12345) are the "control" files and provide job history data such as the page range, copies, etc.

It also depends on how you configured CUPS as to how long the "c" and "d" files are kept.


Cheers,
Doug
