Do not delete payload, if needed #175

Open jacobmarble opened 8 years ago

jacobmarble commented 8 years ago

I'm dealing with a printer that tells CUPS "OK, job printed" but, in fact, no paper comes out. It would be helpful to retain the PDF job payload instead of deleting it, so that I can figure out what is unique about this PDF.

This should be a simple config option like retain_job_payload and should default to "do not retain".

Just a thought, beyond troubleshooting this feature may be useful as an audit method. We've had EDU sysadmins request the ability to match job data against the Google user who submitted the job. Simply logging the user along with job metadata like title may not be sufficient to match the user against the paper.
