Allow anyone to cancel/hold any print job

[Manuel Capinha]

Hi Marc.
I've had the same problem, the only way I found to fix it was by adding the following, to my printer's <Location> directive in cups.conf:

Require valid-user


This made it work, at least for Windows clients. Before adding the Require command, Windows was only sending the username of the job owner,and wasn't performing any actual authentication.

Hope this helps!
Manuel
