[cups.general] Put job on hold until released at console

[henri]

Yes this is possible. There are various ways to do this. I will  
briefly mention PrintAgent which is a web based authentication system  
written in Ruby. PrintAgent is an open source solution to this  
problem. Details are available from : http://www.lucidsystems.org/printingworks/printagent

In addition, you may want to look at some of the follow me printing  
solutions. Follow me printing solutions, store your print jobs on a  
print server. Then when you authenticate at a specific printer  
(possibly a computer next to the printer) the job is sent to the  
printer and the your job is printed.

I believe that there are follow me printing solutions which are  
compatible with CUPS and also that PrintAgent could be modified to  
release to a specific queue.

Hope this helps.
