Right, however even that patch doesn't solve the problem - it only
handles the local case where you are logged onto the print server.
It's definitely a good first step.

What we need is a general proxy-authentication method which works
end-to-end for multiple protocols, not just a localized solution
for SAMBA + Kerberos.

FWIW, it looks like Kerberos will play a part in any solution we
come up with, but first we need to kerberize CUPS and IPP...
