Some programs (such as Libreoffice) do not provide a way to specify a
username and password when printing to a printer that has
"AuthInfoRequired username,password" in its printers.conf entry.

A job created by such a program will sit in the queue until an
administrator removes it.

I'd like a way for the administrator to specify authentication values
for such a job that has been created without them. Something like:

	# lpmodify -o username=foo,password 7
	Enter value for 'password': *******

Here the given value was used for username, and since no password was
specified it was prompted so that it is not visible in the process's
command line arguments, nor is it recorded in the user's shell history.

In spite of my input on 10 Sep 2021, progress on this report has
stalled. It is difficult to envisage a resolution being reached.
Hence closing.
