There are FOUR (4) flags that interact: Highest Priority: save_on_error, save_on_done (default 0 or off) if job has error and save_on_error, job not removed if job does not have error and save_on_done, job not removed Next Highest Priority: done_jobs (default = 1) Keep at most these number of 'old jobs' around. Note: this was added to support the IPP stuff, which gets very knurbly if it supports a job, the job is done, and it cannot get status. Next Highest Priority: done_jobs_max_age (default = 0 or disabled) Remove jobs which are done which are older than this time. Note: this was added to support the IPP stuff, which gets very knurbly if it supports a job, the job is done, and it cannot get status. Isn't supporting this stuff just ticky-boo fun?
