These are the control files used by CUPS to hold the current 
job options, and after the print they provide the "job history".

The maximum number of the files is controlled by the cupsd.conf
"MaxJobs" setting.

If you don't need the job history, you can savely delete them 
(maybe stop cupsd, delete the files, restart cupsd).
