Cannot set CUPS username in Kubuntu 20.04

de flag

I need to set a specific username for printing (network printer at work).

In Kubuntu 16.04, I used to be able to set it using the CUPS interface at http://localhost:631 (via Administration, Manage Printers, Set Default Options, Job Log, UserId). However, in Kubuntu 20.04, it is not working.

I tried to set User myname in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, but when I do that and do sudo service cups restart, CUPS fails and the printer dialog says "Print service is unavailable. Bad file descriptor". Should it not be possible to set the User variable in that file?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
