[cups.general] Using Predefined forms in cups

At the company I work for, we ran into a similar situation.  What I 
ended up doing was implementing a custom filter that took 4 parts of the 
postscript form (pshead, pghead, pgfoot, psfoot) and slipped the text 
from our LPD system into the postscript.

When I get to work on Monday, I can talk with my company and see about 
releasing the source and some documentation on this filter, though it's 
rather easy to implement.

Put some sample data on your form, print it to postscript and look at 
the postscript's source (open it as plain text rather than postscript). 
  That should give you a good starting point to build the filter.
