This is an intended change for better default security in CUPS 1.5

See "JobPrivateValues" in
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/ref-cupsd-conf.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
JobPrivateValues

Examples

JobPrivateValues all
JobPrivateValues default
JobPrivateValues none
JobPrivateValues attribute-name-1 [ ... attribute-name-N ]

Description

The JobPrivateValues directive specifies the list of job values
to make private. The "default" values are "job-name",
"job-originating-host-name", and "job-originating-user-name".

The JobPrivateValues directive must appear inside a Policy section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf change
   JobPrivateValues default
to
   JobPrivateValues none
and restart the cupsd to get those values back in the CUPS web interface.

This is the matching upstream issue:
