Hello, your question was shared from a Microsoft forum many years ago. You're looking for a method to include a username when sending an LPR job, since Windows by default uses the logged-in user's name. On MacOS and Linux, you simply add the username in the printer address field (user@printerip). There seems to be no built-in option in Windows, and adding it via Credential Manager hasn't worked either. Any ideas or alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks!
