Well, here the snippet from cupsd.conf:

<Location /printers/test3>
	AuthType Basic
	AuthClass User
	require valid-user
</Location>

When I add test3 as an ipp printer using windows
(http://printhost:631/printers/test3) I am asked for authentication. I
authenticate as litauer using my password. Then I print a text document
as user root.

What am I doing wrong?
