Disable CUPS job history and remove job files

I think it would be clearer to say "navigate to /private/etc/cups".

Disable CUPS job history and remove job files
Authored by: aglzen on Mar 22, '07 10:30:35AM

From digging around in this file, and the /var/spool/cups/ folder, I'd say this hint doesn't need to happen.

The CUPS system already deletes jobs once they're done - that's what the second line does. The print history doesn't take up much space at all - <1MB on my system, after a week of extensive printing. The /var/spool/cups/ files appear to be metadata on the jobs, not the jobs themselves - they're much too small.

In short, things don't seem to be broken, so I wouldn't change it unless you have a really good reason!
