Dummy print queue

Hi,

I would like to set up a cups printer to just dump files in a spool directory for another application. I have a filter script to do this on an lp system.

How would I do the equivalent of:
     1	dummy:\
     2		:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dummy:\
     3		:sh:\
     4		:lp=|/usr/share/printconf/util/nofilter:

with CUPS (since manual printcap entries get overwritten when cups restarts).

Thanks very much, sorry if its a silly question but I'm a bit of a novice with CUPS.
