In the general case, no, I suspect. Your log indicates that you are
printing
jobs from Winxx boxes via samba. Thus, you cannot rely on meaningful
filenames.
The only way to achieve what you want is to modify the title attribut in
CUPS's
internal job attribute list. I could think of several different
modifications
in either CUPS or Samba (the smbspool tool) to do this, but I think
ist's 
rather difficult to get a general solution.
