[cups] Configure ipp authentification.

[Fabian Hoffmann]

Dear all,

so hear is what I want to achieve, I hope I get some help here. I have a
printer connected to our server. Users that have an account on that
machine and are in the group Users should be allowed to print from their
PCs using IPP. So I image them adding the printer (on Windows, Mac,
Linux) like ipp://server:631/printers/Printer and then they should get
asked their username and password from that server. Is that even
possible, I could not find any information on this. If it is not I have
to use smb :(

I run CUPS 1.4.4 (on debian squeeze), but I can update if it is better
on a newer version. Find at the end the cupsd.conf I tried so far.

I appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Fabian Hoffmann
