The "Name" column contains the filename, and also sometimes the name of the application from which the fax was sent.

This is part of the job history in the "c" files in /var/spool/cups.

Presumably when I look at the CUPS web interface fax log, I can only see faxes sent from the OS version I'm currently booted into. But I want access to this data on the other partitions, without rebooting.
That's not generally possible since each OS is running a different version of CUPS with a different notion of the current jobs, job information, etc.
