Hallo,

did some more tests. Made a fresh install from source on Linux (Fedora 8;
../configure --prefix=/opt/cups/cups) and added a HP network printer with
socket:PRINTER-DNS-NAME:9100 connection.

I use the following cupsd.conf file:

diff cupsd.conf cupsd.conf.default
21,22c21,24
< Browsing off
< BrowseDeny all
---
> Browsing On
> BrowseOrder allow,deny
> BrowseAllow all
> BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS
27,29d28
< PreserveJobHistory Off
< PreserveJobFiles Off
<

The only difference between Linux and Solaris is that the state of the jobs is
"completed at ...". But no control files are deleted and the job history is also
available (after waiting > 10 min).
