Re 'username', this is the name of the printer and/or printer queue?

Cool, looking good :-)

Quick question: What happens with really long document titles, is an  
ellipsis used to truncate the length? Some Journal titles can get  
pretty long, especially if they are downloaded documents via Browse as  
the URL is used as part of the download name.

I would say allowing pausing is likely one feature too much. I can't  
say I ever remember needing to manually pause a print job (or print  
queue) myself.
