HMMM...

Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active
 Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' saved at 15:03:02.946
 Filter_status: done at 15:03:02.926
 Rank   Owner/ID                  Class Job Files                 Size Time

The last entry in the 'status line' is the time at which the
job was put into the queue.  You can make this a full YYMMDD
format using the full_time flag in the printcap or lpd.conf file:

Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active
 Rank   Owner/ID                  Class Job Files                 Size Time
done   [EMAIL PROTECTED]            A   244 /tmp 614486 2003-11-09-15:00:06.000


Now you can convert to the unix time and then take the difference.
Best I can do, sorry.
