yes, thats clear. But now there are only mails for a printjob started 
from you, and the mail receives only you.
So I have to do an entry for every of my hundreds of users.
It would be nice if that would work:

<Subscription 18>
Events all
Owner $USER
Recipient mailto:$USER at suse.de
LeaseDuration 0
Interval 30
ExpirationTime 0
NextEventId 35
</Subscription>

where USER ist the USer which printed the Dokument.

Regards

Daniel
