Two years was really a good estimation. Here is the ChangeLog entry of 
the foomatic-filters package which documents the addition of the job 
parameter support:

         * foomatic-rip.in: Added substitution of special XML entities by
           job data, as date, time, job ID, user name, ... (in function
           "unhtmlify()"). This was suggested by George Liu from Ricoh
           (george dot liu at ussj dot ricoh dot com), to support jobs
           with submission of login/password to the printer.
