Chech out the following : extract from html manual
PreserveJobFiles
Examples

PreserveJobFiles On
PreserveJobFiles Off

Description

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. Jobs can be restarted (and reprinted) as desired until they are purged.

A value of Off (the default) removes the job files as soon as each job is completed, cancelled, or aborted.
