This seems to be almost a duplicate of my old feature request
for per job log files:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1228

I think logs per queue are still a bit inconvenient for the user
because the messages of the various jobs from various users are
stored in one log file (but then at least no longer mixed up
but in convenient job-by-job order) so that a user may have to
search a bit for the messages of his particular job.

Regarding too many open file descriptors:
Perhaps it is possible to add the log messages per job
to the existing job control file?

I assume that when only INFO, WARN, and ERROR messages are stored,
it should avoid flooding the files with tons of debug messages.

Perhaps simply a reserved block of fixed size for log messages
in the existing job control file is sufficient?


Kind Regards
