Well, I sent a job from a windows client, logged in as root. The ipp
printer (test3) has been authenticated as user litauer. The job is
spooled as user "remroot" (as exepected). Then I took the sample script
showJobs.pl out of the perl package Net-IPP
(http://search.cpan.org/src/BIGHIL/Net-IPP-0.1/sample/showJobs.pl). The
script reports:

# lpq -Ptest3
test3 is not ready
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
1st     remroot 20360   test.txt - Notepad              19456 bytes

# ./showJobs.pl http://litauer:password@printhost:631/printers/test3
***NOT-COMPLETED Jobs for URI
http://litauer:password@printhost:631/printers/test3***

JOB 20360: "test.txt - Notepad" from remroot
state: JOBSTATE_PENDING
reason: printer-stopped


So maybe there's another ipp job attribute to lookup? Any further hints?
