Chaps,
We have a photocopier here that we're hoping to be able to drive with
CUPS (it's a Canon iR5020 apparently). We have a PPD file for it, but
CUPS doesn't seem to allow us to set the user credentials required to
gain access to the photocopier.
I've been roped in as a developer as I've written simple CUPS drivers
for line printers before. I'd rather not re-invent the wheel so my
question is, does CUPS support passing a username and password to the
printer (as the PPD specified) or must I write some custom driver that does?
