(Mainly intented for Cristian)
This is not the first time such a feature is requested, unfortunately this is somehow difficult to implement if the CUPS server does not support job file retrieval (which it doesn't, if I'm right). Otherwise, you'll face several problems:
- you can't rely on the fact that the job file is available locally as the CUPS server might run on another computer, or if browsing is enabled
- even if the file is local, the actual location is configuration-dependent (you may think about looking in the cupsd.conf to know where to get the file)
- the spool directory might be user-readable
