While testing CUPS 1.2.2, I noticed that when you do "Cancell All Jobs"
for a particular printer queue, it precisely cancells all jobs that are
currently being printed and those waiting in queue. However, it also
deletes all printing history for that printer queue.

So, if you click on "Show Completed Jobs" or "Show All Jobs" for that
printer queue, all entries are deleted.

I would prefer to keep jobs history for the printer but there seems to
be no way of configuring this.

The "Cancel All Jobs" button does the "Purge Jobs" operation; admin-only. Will retain this in case we want to make "Cancel All Jobs" do the new IPP Cancel-Jobs operation when viewing pending jobs.
