Thanks again, Michael. Think that worked. Wireshark is showing a job submission packet that has the right username now. As for job-originating-user-name and -default, I misunderstood what you were saying in your previous post. Sorry about that. I'm starting to think that job-originating-user-name is meant to be used only with banner pages, is that correct?
Also, I tried the lpd:\\username at ipaddress\queue before. I added the queue through the web admin page and when I went to see the installed printers, the URI didn't list the username that the queue was printing to. I didn't think to check the printers.conf at the time. I just assumed it didn't work with LPD. Was the username intended to not display within the CUPS admin webpages?
Thanks again,
Brett
