in the printer?

so, every linux user has a local CUPS server that connects to the printer with
the permissions? think that if this two different users share the same CUPS
server they can see the login information of each other.

or, if you are printing and I made a login to your box and execute a ps I think
that also they appears.

1) change the user name maybe helps.
2) we use papercut to control the authentication and then the printer only
accept connection from that box. Playing a bit with the auth options you should
be able to do it.

Hope this helps,


Leopold
