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 No
PreserveJobHistory seconds

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".

If I put the following directives in cupsd.conf the job files and
history are deleted immediately.
