Can be useful to distinguish when a print job was submitted from when it was actually received by the printer. That distinction matters when printers go offline and jobs get queued.

Is it possible or practical to examine a printer's internal queue for jobs that might include this (completely optional) CreationDate field?
If not, then: I'm not sure that the distinction means anything. :)

Yes. Many printers have a web interface where you can see active jobs, job history, timestamps, and document information. Some even have a physical control panel that lets you inspect this information directly from a touchscreen.
