Currently iPrint passes on the username of received jobs.
For certain usecases (e.g. Third-party Follow-Me printing, etc.) it is necessary to rewrite the username to same static username. This has the effect that every print job submitted (by whatever user - the incoming authentication part is not affected at all) is optionally passed on (lpr/raw) under a well-defined username. This static username should be setable at the printer level.
Client prints a job to the appliance -> the job contains the username (windows user, iprint authenticated user, etc.) - > the iprint appliance rewrites the username/job owner -> and passes this data with a static username defined at the iprint printer to the actual printer over lpr/raw.
