In your cupsd.conf, you may set up a location for this pecific printer and secify the statements
	Requive valid-user
	Satisfy all
besides the usual Allow and Deny statements. But, AFIK, there is currently no means to pass this
username and password pair to the backend to modify the device_uri.

Perhaps file a RFE on the CUPS web site on this issue.
