As long as there's no API for it (at CUPS or IPP level), this can be
difficult to implement. Maybe such an API exists, but I'm not aware
of it.
Otherwise the main problem is that the spool directory of the CUPS server
is usually not user-readable, so you can't access files directly, and
more problematic is that fact that this spool directory might be located
on a remote server.
