You could write your own CUPS backend which would do exactly what 
you want, but this is some work even when modifying existing 
backends, because CUPS backends have special requirements to work

Or you could use Tea4CUPS, which does all the dirty work while 
allowing you to plug any number of unmodified scripts into the CUPS 
machinery.
