Job name not showing in printer display

Hi

We have just upgraded to cups-1.2.5 from 1.1.20rc1 and almost all works fine.

The only thing that does not work is the job name on the printers. They are not set. With the old version the display on the printer listed something like:

username - jobfile name

while the job was printing.

This is now gone. FĂ­rst I assumed it was a samba/driver problem, but is is the same bahaviour when printing from unix with lp.

I've searched the forum (and Google) but found no mention of this. Is this an intentional change, a bug or am I missing something in the configuration (see below)?
