Hi,

Acording to the hints/comments in cupsd.conf, the default-value for MaxJobs is 500. This did NOT work for me (jobs was not purged). But after un-commenting MaxJobs and setting the value to 8 (on a test server) everything worked fine :-)

I will now set MaxJobs to 1500 on our production servers and see what happens tomorrow (I am sure it will work just fine)


Thanks for the assistance
