Filter PCL jobs

Hi,

My scenario is the described below:

I've configured a printer in my CUPS Server.
Then I print from a Windows machine through an LPR connection pointing to the CUPS queue (this windows configuration uses a PCL driver).

Windows ----> CUPS Server ----> Printer
(LPR)    PCL

I want to modify the job in the CUPS Server before it's sent to the printer. Using a PS driver instead of PCL I can do it using CUPS Filters but with PCL the CUPS is receiving the job and it's going directly to the backend without using any filter.

Any idea??

Thanks in advance!

Martin.
