[cups.general] Print queue to act as email queue with report as an attachment

I am unable to find out how to do the following:

I am in need of creating a print queue in which I can send a report and
that report is sent as an attachment to my 'predefined" email address.

Does anyone know where I would find out how to do this?

On HP-UX we do this by manipulating a /var/spool/lpd/interface file that
calls a Perl script that packages the report into an attachment using
MIME LITE and then emails to the address defined in the "interface
file".  Each print queue is for a specific email address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as we really need to be able to do
this.
