Even if CUPS could handle sending Username/Password (and I doubt it can), the facilty is aimed a mobile devices. BTW: why use HPLIP? This is an Everywhere printer and supported by the printing system on buster and bullseye. -- Brian.

Thanks for the detail.
The emphasis is on mobile devices. I wonder why they are singled out?
Interesting.
I would set a Username and Password and see how you go on printing and
scanning using CUPS and SANE and your iPhone.

Neither do I. Expecting explanations in a Guide is optimistic, but a
mentiom would not be out of place.
A single, unique Username/Password combination is all that is required.
What is the liklihood of its remaining unknwn in an orgaisation for very
long? Security doesn't appear to be enhanced.

I take it you mean for the printer, not CUPS. For the printer, it is on
the embedded web server.
https://hpm234ethernet -> Networking -> Advanced.
It isn't described, but the available options are to require IPP or
eSCL authentication, and if so to set a user name and password. Both
have the annotation,
Users printing from mobile devices will be required to provide this
Name/password combination. Username and Password can contain any
printable characters except "()<>@,;:\/[]?={}"
I don't see anything in the User Guide.
