Today to display a separator page between print jobs that include the user information a few conditions have to be met, and those rely on the on-premises, synchronized ID of the user.
We need this to work with native AAD IDs as the on-premises dependency is not a given and B2B invited guest users have no such relationship but may need to use the same printers. Further I would expect that printer native UP support would also have no knowledge of domain information.
Therefore a separator page setting needs to be inserted by the UP service. It could be a sperate print job with the same printer settings as the job following the separator. Of course configurable on the print queue in UP, as specialized printers do not like separator pages.

I don't understand many of the words strung together by the two commenters above but I think I am gathering that we all just want to enable a separator page in UP that identifies the user who sent the job and separates each so they're not all piled up mixed together on the machine's output tray.
Some manufacturers have the feature built-in to the hardware settings, but many rely on the software/drivers.

Very good idea.
We don't use the secure print or follow me feature, because we print a large amount of documents and need to separate them with a job separator page.
People don't have time for waiting the documents when they come to the printer.
Also sometime, assistants distribute the queue to colleagues and need to see who have print the docs.
This is blocking for our deployment.
Very frustrating, because the print server is the latest mile for being full cloud based company.
