Rick,
There is no way to change this behavior, short of including the "username"
parameter in the WWW-Authenticate header value (which tells the client what the
default username is...)
Since Printer Sharing is the primary use case of authenticated printing, it
*does* make sense to pre-populate with your local user name since that is
typically a network user account. But feel free to argue otherwise in a bug
report... :)
