Yes, the current prerelease of netatalk (1.5pre3) supports authenticated
printing through the UAMs (User Authentication Modules). There is a fair
amount of documentation now available on this in the distribution, and
there should be some in the mailing list archives as well.

To get the newest release from sourceforge, go to:
