Problem after update from 1.3.10 to 1.4.1 with job queue

Hello,

today I did an CUPS update from 1.3.10 to 1.4.1 (self-compiled CUPS on Solaris
Sparc 10. Just made a "make install" over the old installation).

Printing works fine but I have a problem with the "Jobs" information. I disabled
the job history with the following options in cupsd.conf (this works fine with
1.3.10):

....
PreserveJobHistory Off
PreserveJobFiles Off
....

But when I use the command "lpstat -W all" or use the web-frontend ("show all
jobs") I see all jobs since the update. Even the control file are there under
..../var/spool/cups/c*. In the web-frontend the status of the jobs is "pending
since" but all the jobs were printed fine.

(All printers are HPs and the connection type is socket:9100)

Any hints?

Best regards,

Ralf
