Web page 'Jobs' page shows only one job

[John A. Murdie]

A user here has complained that (with CUPS 1.2.5) when he issues several lp(1) commands in reasonably quick succession, the web page 'Jobs' list page shows only his top job (for that printer). Only when that job has been printed does the next one appear in the web listing. I've reproduced this problem. No report like this is in the bugs list or in the list of fixes for 1.2.6 and 1.2.7. Is it meant to work like this?

Oddly, another CUPS 1.2.5 server we have on another machine does show multiple entries in a queue for one user - differently-named files.

Is this something configurable that I might have set incorrectly without realising it? (But I've searched the cupsd.conf help file without success.) I can't believe that this is not something silly I have done.
