I can't find that message in the standard CUPS sources, and I don't
know what version of CUPS (and what patches) that SuSE bundles, so
you might have better luck filing a bug with SuSE.

That said, if you turn job history off then there will be no way
for the CUPS quotas to kick in; add the following line to your
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and then restart cupsd:

     PreserveJobHistory no
