[cups.general] Printing from Windows 7 to CUPS using IPP withSSL-encrypted Basic authentication

[Rick Cochran]

It works, but I'm not done yet.

My next task is to figure out how to get CUPS to use a signed cert which 
requires an intermediate cert.

And finally, I would like to know how to deal with the fact that Windows 
automatically caches the user's ID and password.  This is not helpful in 
a non-login environment.

It would be best if I could disable the caching behavior.  It might 
suffice if I could kill the cache entry.
