Description Erik forsberg 2005-11-01 11:38:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Beginning with CUPS v1.2, the list of printers returned by CUPS_GET_PRINTERS, CUPS_GET_CLASSES is filtered with respect to the printers a user is allowed to print to, but only if the attribute requesting-user-name is sent with the request, containing the current user's name.

This is useful functionality in organisations with one large CUPS server, but with many small usergroups, since it's easier to find the correct printer if only the ones that are relevant are shown in print dialogs. 

Current KDE code does not send requesting-user-name.

This patch adds a requesting-user-name to void
KMCupsManager::loadServerPrinters(), which seems to be the correct place. At
least it limits the list shown by kprinter.
