cupsctl will restart cupsd "safely" - basically, we go into a mode where we don't accept new client connections or start any pending jobs, and allow jobs that are printing 60 seconds to finish up before we force a restart.  During this window of time it is possible for the client to get a "connection refused" error...

>>> The "c" files are the job control files - they provide the print history. By default CUPS keeps records of the last 500 jobs you've printed. You can either do "cupsctl PreserveJobHistory=No" to never keep the job history or "cancel -a" to just clean out the current job history.
