[cups.development] customized printer list per user

Hi,

Our problem: we need a customized printer list in CUPS depending on
the user asking for it.

Here are the details:

Imagine a larger network with some network printers served by
a cups print server and a linux based X application server accessed
by remote X clients via NoMachine (www.nomachine.com). The clients
have local printers. On connection to the X App server via ssh tunnel
the local cups service is tunneled to the server and a script on
the server adds the printer via lpadmin to the running CUPS server
there with options -u, so only the user is able to print to it.

However all local printers of all clients are in the printer list on
the server and so every user sees all local printers of all other users.
Think of >300 client and you can imagine the mess.

Finally my question:

Is there anything we can do to hide the local printers of other users so
every user sees only his local printer and the network printers.
If this is not possible, is anything planned regarding this problem?

Kind regards,
Martin Grimm
