Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

The problem:

I am using a cups server (debian etch), which uses encryption and local
(on the server) authentication to allow users printing.

When using windows, I can simply add the printer using the following
URL:

https://server:port/classes/printer

Then I can change the authentication settings to my username on the
server and it's password.

I was not able to figure out, how to add the printer in ubuntu using
system-config-printer.

Tried to enter the URL with
  - ipp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/printer.
  - https://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/classes/printer.

So I think there should be an easy way to specify different
authentication credentials for a remote printer queue in system-config-
printer.
