Change username of print job

Is it possible to change the username (e.g. in a CUPS filter argv[2]) when printing?

MacOS 9 and Windows use the short name of the user when printing. MacOS X uses the long name. I would like to also use the short name on X. Is this possible?

Background: Our RIP uses the print jobs username to determine who may edit a job. Our editing app is written in JAVA (and runs under Windows, 9 and X) and uses the user's short name to login into the RIP. But since the names don't match, the X user cannot edit his own jobs.

I would prefer to change the username of the job when printing and not to change our JAVA app to use the long name to login when running on X.
