You may look at the "alternate pstops filter" (via the links
on the CUPS home page) and look especially onto the extended
page-label attribute.

Though the currently available version has been developed
quite a time ago (for CUPS 1.1.19), it still works (and is
currently being reworked on the basis of CUPS 1.3.4).
