Don't use a plain raw queue but a queue with a "System V style
interface script", see "man lpadmin", "man 7 filter", and
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS

The following (untested) bash script should do what you want:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/bash
# activate the next line for debug info in /var/log/cups/error_log
#set -x
# have the input at fd0 (stdin) in any case
[ -n "$6" ] && exec <"$6"
# set up the printer before printing
echo -en "\033&k2G"
# printing
cat -
---------------------------------------------------------------------

For general information see for example
