Hi Imacat,
I use 3.8.3 and I definetely don't see the described behaviour, are you
sure the save_jobs... flag is disabled ?
[printsrv3] ~ $ grep done ~lp/etc/lpd.conf
# Purpose: keep the last NN done jobs for status purposes
# default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER)
done_jobs= 0
# Purpose: keep done jobs for at most max age seconds
# default done_jobs_max_age= 0 (INTEGER)
# Purpose: save job when done
# default save_when_done@ (FLAG off)
best regards
~christoph
