I've downloaded pdftops.pl and the conf file, but I'm unclear as to where to put them, although the conf file says it goes into the CUPS_SERVERROOT directory.

Yes, just put the script into CUPS' filter directory and rename it to
pdftops
(I'd suggest to save the original binary in case you need a rollback).
I'll put a 
hint into the inline docu shortly.

Note that you need the pdftops utility from the xpdf 3.0 suite as some
of the
recommended settings in the conf file are not supported in earlier
versions.
