> Have you looked under the 'Ports' tab of the configuration window (which shows Port "http://printserver:631/printers/foo", Description "Internet port", Printer = "foo", which is highlighted, and pressing "Configure port" - it probably should have  "Automatically use the Windows logon name and password" checked rather than "Use anonymous account". I think that this assumes that (if you are using CUPS basic authentication) the user name on the trusted Windows XP client is the same as on the CUPS server. (Am I right?)

I've tried this with the same results.  It doesn't make sense to me that the job is sent with the username but cancelling doesn't.

I didn't do anything special here.  They seem to just show up.
