It's the other way around: c00xxx files are log files generated by CUPS,
d00xxx are data files, that means the file received by the CUPS server for
printing. What's interesting is that the print job 118 corresponds to the
PostScript file generated by KEdit. How do you print your text file?
Keep in mind that printing from KEdit will send PS to the CUPS server, not
plain text. If you really want to send plain text to the CUPS server, use
kprinter: "kprinter your_file.txt".
