Statusing locally queued jobs through CUPS

I'm trying to access job status programmatically through CUPS and have run into a glitch. It involves jobs queued for a shared printer on a remote IPP server. I can get the status of the jobs that have already transferred to the remote server's queue with no problems, but I can't figure out a reasonable way to get the status of the printer's jobs that are still queued on the local machine.

The web interface confirms the issue if I stop the printer and queue up two jobs: No jobs are listed on the printer's local web page (http://localhost:631/printers/<printer name>@<remote host>), but both jobs do show up on the local jobs page (http://localhost:631/jobs). The printer's remote web page (http://<remote host>:631/printers/<printer name>) shows only the first job, which has been transferred to the remote queue.

Is this a bug in the Panther version of CUPS? Apart from parsing the printer info out of the list of all jobs for all printers, is there any way to status the locally queued jobs by printer?
