Hello All,
When using CUPs. Does the file that gets printed live in some temp directory somewhere?
For example, if a user submits a PDF file to be printed, does a cached copy of that PDF file live somewhere on the Server in a temporary directory, at least until its printed?
# lpq -P printer15
printer15 is not ready

Correct me if this is wrong. But, I think I may have just discovered the answer...
The following link describes CUPs Design: CUPS Design Description
In there it states print job files are stored in /var/spool/cups. Each print job has one control file, i.e. "c<job-num>", and 0 or more data files, i.e. "d<job-num>-001".
And it looks like the d* file is the actual cached file of the printed document.
