Comment 6 for bug 343801

Pitti, you are right. Limiting MaxJobs limits the allowed number of jobs in the queue. So setting it to 2 or 3 will cuase problems. In gheneral a small office/home user could set it to 10 when preserving jobs, but a server user must keep it on a higher value, especially if he also wants to use quotas. So it depends highly on the users demands. Pitti you could post a feature request to CUPS for allowing different settings for the maximum of jobs allowed in the queue and the maximum of job files for completed/aborted jobs held on disk.

Looks like that we need to make these settings available in system-config-printer.
