I have set up my printer on CUPS ubuntu, and it can be use via ipp. I haven't config the users yet, but I heard that we can pass username and password via ipp url like this:
http://username:password@server:631/printers/MyPrinter
For example, John use http://john:password@server:631/printers/MyPrinter
to access the printer. And I can login into the cups using root/admin user, and set John enable or disable to use the printer.
Can we make this work? And how to make this work?
Hope you understand my poor english...
