In CUPS 1.3.x, look in scripting/java.

As I mentioned in another posting, this Java code is largely
unmaintained and has been dropped from CUPS 1.4.x.

If you want a job to print at midnight, you can use the job-hold-until
attribute with the time to print.  Keep in mind that the hold time is
expressed in UTC and *not* local time.  For example, if you are on the
US East cost you'd use the following option to print a job at
midnight:

     lp -o job-hold-until=05:00 filename

If you want to schedule the generation and printing of a report at
midnight, the usual way is to use cron or at to schedule things.
