The pstops filter emits a JCL statement like
	@PJL JOBNAME = ... DISPLAY = id user title
where id is the job-ID, user the job-originating-user-name and title the job-name.
If that isn't sufficient, you'd hack the sources (cups/emit.c in the source tree)
or file a RFE (request for enhancements) hoping that your request finds the way
into CUPS 1.2
