That's from the web interface; the INFO message is that one in double quotes.
It shows up in italics on the screen:
---snip---
    Description: BThc
Location:
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
"Finished job 80654 -> srz%lino@//JETBASE/daten_von_srz:/BT-PS/1602081.ps"
Device URI: smbrcp://JETBASE/daten_von_srz
---snip---
You are right, the messages isn't displayed by lpstat nor by lpq, but is saved in
printers.conf.

PS: my CUPS is 1.1.19 compiled from the sources on a UnixWare 7.1.0
