I can't believe this is still in. Is CUPS unused in enterprise environments? At our offce we identiy with an account number as to assign printout costs to department accounts rather than individual users. I have to set a username for printig, without identifiication, printouts get silently ignored.

If so, where should I ask for an improvement?" Martin Owens -doctormo-@AskUbuntu suggested I add the username in the IPP URI directly. The printer address dialog won't let me do that. Is this a bug or is there some hidden place to put this username or should it be improved?
