Set username to send to remote LPD/LPR print queue

[Brett Ussher]

Hey, Michael;

What if the Pharos queues were IPP print queues?  Could the format for the DeviceURI be:

ipp://username@printer_ip ?

Would that properly convert the usernames being sent by the jobs to one the Pharos system is looking for?
