Subject: More meaningful comments from lpq

Hi,
When I tried to "lpq" my CUPS system to see which jobs are being processed,
I get something like:

--------------------------------------------------------
EPSON is ready and printing

Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size

active nobody 1341 smbprn.005733.du8Ltw 1651712 bytes
active nobody 1340 smbprn.005643.fr4Pyg 2345465 bytes
-----------------------------------------------------------
etc...

Is it possible to modify the system so that I can get the exact name of what is
being printed?

E.g something like

-------------------------------------------------------
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size

active nobody 1341 published_paper.pdf 1651712 bytes
active nobody 1341 some_works.doc 5436546 bytes
active nobody 1341 painting.ps 6574377 bytes
-------------------------------------------------------

which is more meaningful than smbprn*. Thanks for an help provided.

With kind regards,

Didier
