The CUPS lpd backend supports only a fixed username
(there is no authentication via LPD protocol)
to describe who requested a print job in the form
   lpd://username@ip-address-or-hostname/...

I don't know how one could provide credentials
to a Ricoh Aficio MP C3001 printer.
Perhaps something is possible via JCL options in the PPD file?
You may ask Ricoh for help here because they should know
how one could provide credentials to their printers.
