How does CUPS handle the concept of Logical printers such as

*  Logical Printer       CR-LF  Form Feed   Banner
Normal                   -      -              -
Logical printer 1        X      -              -
Logical printer 2        -      X              -
Logical printer 3        X      X              -
Logical printer 4        -      -              X
Logical printer 5        X      -              X
Logical printer 6        -      X              X
Logical printer 7        X      X              X
* Where    CR-LF: Converts "Line Feed" to "Carriage Return/Line Feed" pair.
                   Form Feed: Append a Form Feed character to the print job.
                   Banner: Print a banner page prior to the print job.

Is this handled by classes in CUPS, where one would define a class, and then add printers and options for those printers to that class..or, am I misunderstanding both of these concepts completely? Thank you in advance.
