Well, "lp -c" is guaranteed by spec (SuS V2) to return only after all the input files have been completely processed. The spec says explicitly that as long as you use -c, you are free to delete or modify the files as soon as lp returns. I don't think CUPS has bugs in that area, but we can ask CUPS upstream about it... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
