Bug Description
I'm running CUPS on localhost. The `lpq` command reports the owner of the job as "(null)" and the File(s) in the job as "untitled". In addition to being wrong, these values are incorrect.

I can confirm this. Any job is reported reported to from owner "(null)", jobtitle "unititled" and even the assigned printer seems to be wrong. Viewing the queue of any printer shows to be empty, viewing the overall queue show the job.
As it seems, cups gets passed the correct values. Here some lines of my cups error_log with log_level debug:
