Ok, i get it ;-)
I should put AutoPurgeJobs to YES in cupsd.conf, and enable quotas on the printer; like -o job-quota-period=172800 -o job-k-limit=999999 (because i do not want quotas) ?
The reason for my confusion is the comment with PreserveJobFiles in the admin guide : The PreserveJobFiles directive controls whether the document files of completed, cancelled, or aborted print jobs are stored on disk.
A value of On preserves job files until the administrator purges them with the cancel command.
