   Of course. Couldn't the same be done for "user private" profiles or
   possibly also other "blobs" which supplement a print job?
   (i.e. send a temporary copy to cupsd, which does not disclose it to
   anybody else (unless root, of course), and deletes the copy after
   rendering).

That's the solution I'd like to see myself.
