--------------------+------------------------------------------------------- It'd be nice if you had a little dialog when you print where you could
 specify which user to account a Pharos job to, so someone else can release
 it (and have it charged against their quota, if they do). This helps a
 couple of cases where either you print something and send someone else to
 get it, or you don't have an ID card and are using a guest account (e.g.,
 for SIPB IAP classes) and want your teacher who does have an ID to print
 your job.

 "This is not something we formally support on Athena. We may in the
 future, particularly if there's a good reason to."

 Jon says the right thing to do is to get the Popup client working on
 Linux. Possibly a custom Gtk+ printing backend would be a stopgap in the
 short term.
