No, you'll only get the attributes that are defined for the corresponding events. To get the complete set of attributes you need to use the IPP_GET_JOB_ATTRIBUTES operation with cupsDoRequest.

For job events use IPP_GET_JOB_ATTRIBUTES and pass in the job-uri - then you just get the attributes for that job.
