3) What I expected to happen:
from man cupsd.conf

Specifies whether job files (documents) are preserved after a job
is printed. If a numeric value is specified, job files are preserved
for the indicated number of seconds after printing. The default is
"86400" (preserve 1 day).
PreserveJobHistory Yes
PreserveJobHistory No
PreserveJobHistory seconds
Specifies whether the job history is preserved after a job is
printed. If a numeric value is specified, the job history is preserved for
the indicated number of seconds after printing. If "Yes", the job
history is preserved until the MaxJobs limit is reached. The default
is "Yes".
4) What happens instead....
If I put the following directives in cupsd.conf the job files and
history are deleted immediately.
PreserveJobFiles 604800
PreserveJobHistory 604800
