CUPS can support drivers doing this, but it doesn't provide specific
functions for doing what is essentially printer/vendor-specific stuff.

If you have never written a printer driver before, I highly recommend
that you hire a company that has.  If you are the "do it yourself"
type of person, check out the sample drivers included with CUPS as
inspiration for writing your own driver, and definitely use the CUPS
DDK to create the PPD files for your printer(s).
