Class RequestingUserName is a printing attribute class, a text attribute,
that specifies the name of the end user that submitted the print job.
Class RequestingUserName is a printing attribute class, a text attribute,
that specifies the name of the end user that submitted the print job. A
requesting user name is an arbitrary string defined by the client. The
printer does not put the client-specified RequestingUserName attribute into
the Print Job's attribute set; rather, the printer puts in a
JobOriginatingUserName
attribute.
This means that services which support specifying a username with this
attribute should also report a JobOriginatingUserName in the job's
attribute set. Note that many print services may have a way to independently
authenticate the user name, and so may state support for a
requesting user name, but in practice will then report the user name
authenticated by the service rather than that specified via this
attribute.
IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The
locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by
getName()
gives the IPP attribute name.
