Does CUPs support any method of getting the status of the printer or a job. Does it support getting a list of jobs which have been completed?

Basically I want to be able to

1. Submit a job to a printer via CUPS
2. Check the status of the printer(Is it idle, printing or in error)
3. Get a list of jobs for the printer and their status(queued,printing, number of pages printed)
4. Get a list of jobs that have recently completed printing

Is this possible with CUPS?
