    All -

    I have a Debian testing system that uses CUPS and it's web interface. I've installed CUPS using the
    defaults and configured it. The system correctly forwards print output from the testing system to a 'Woody'
    LPD/LPR system that queues and forwards the output to the printer (HP DeskJet).

    On the testing system, I have ~90 entries in the "Completed Jobs" page of the web interface, dating from
    June to today (September). It takes about 5 pages to list them all. I don't care about any job that was
    completed months ago so would like to limit the number of jobs listed in the "Completed Jobs" page to
    about a page or so (~ 10-20 jobs), or perhaps list only those jobs completed in the 15-30 days.

    I looked in the docs and it seemed that "MaxPrinterHistory" may do the job, so I changed
    /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, MaxPrinterHistory to 50. After a reboot, I saw no change to the number of jobs
    listed.

    I don't see a way to limit the number of jobs listed, or a means to purge the job listing. Can someone
    help?

    -TIA
