Hanno,

This is standard behavior in CUPS 1.7 and later.

For CUPS 1.4 the only way to hide the job name is to edit the web interface template files in /usr/share/cups/templates/jobs.tmpl and /usr/share/cups/templates/*/jobs.tmpl.

The problem is that everyone can see the file or document name from every user and job printed (at the 'Jobs' page on the web interface). And sometimes you can clearly see what's inside the document from the file name which is against our privacy policy. I'd like to hide these document names.
