Change to model following review of protocol.

BobH and I propose that getjobs must always return a unique job
identification (either jobid or job URL , see other recent mail) that
can be used in subsequent requests.

The reason is that most print API work this way and so most clients are
structured on this assumption. (Specifcally in the MS world the EnumJobs
API always returns a job identifier).
