Tim, would it not be much more user-frendly, if one does the following: If a print job fails because it needs a password, the applet askes for user/password and gives the possibility to save the credentials. If the user opts for saving, it sends the job and if the credentials are correct it adds "<user>:<password>@" to the printer's URI, if not, it simply sends the job.
As many print dialogs of applications do not support asking for passwords, it should be assured that the applet also asks for any future jobs which fail due to a missing or wrong user/password in the URI. The applet should perhaps even remove the "username,password" from the printer configuration, so that CUPS gets the job and it can ask for credentials again for the case that the user did not save the credentials.
