I would add a selfmade filter to the CUPS print queues
(in your case preferably a "System V style interface script")
which prepends the job data with whatever information
your listener needs and let the listener read and cut
this information before it sends the job data elsewhere.

Regarding "add a selfmade filter"

might help you.
