Using "bulk endpoint" of the printer in Cups

Hello
Is it possible to somehow make the printer driver receive data from the printer?
We have a customized printer, that can send back the documents back to
the computer using this "bulk endpoint".
There is a CUPS driver (cups filter actually, that converts pdf
documents into the format that the printer understands, and just
writes it to stdout for the usb backend to send it to the printer
directly).
Would it be possible to achieve this "backward reading" from printer
using CUPS at all?
Thank you
