[cups.general] Howto Hold Job in queue, yet release job from client.

I have set up a library printer to be accessed by staff and students,  
staff jobs print immediately, students are held, to be released by the 
Librarian on payment.  Relevant parts of printers.conf look like this...

<Printer LibHold>
Info Holding Queue between LibPrint and LibStaff
DeviceURI ipp://jordan.smbc.com.au/printers/LibStaff
Option job-hold-until indefinite
Option job-hold-until-default indefinite
</Printer>

<Printer LibStudent>
Info Student Access to Library Printer
DeviceURI ipp://jordan.smbc.com.au:631/printers/LibHold
</Printer>

<Printer LibStaff>
Info Main Library Printer
DeviceURI socket://192.168.0.182
</Printer>

Access to LibStudent is by ipp.  Mostly it is working fine.  The problem 
is when a student prints from Mac OSX, then puts their computer to 
sleep.  The print job is released or canceled, and the Mac is then taken 
out of sleep (in that order).  The Mac sees that the job has disappeared 
so it re-issues the job.  How do I get the Mac to forget about the job 
once it is in the servers queue?
