That likely is similar to this ppd:

  https://www.openprinting.org/download/PPD/Toshiba/TOSHIBA_EST205_CUPS.ppd

which would imply that, as someone else wrote, you'll need a custom
filter to set a postscript dictionary named dscInfo with For and Title
keys with the desired values.

I have some PJL status request snippets at:

  http://jhcloos.com/PJL/INFO/

If you can send to the printer's raw socket (usually port 9100) they'll
return status info.  Variables.pjl in particular may providesome insight.

Cups tries to use @PJL SET USERNAME to set the username.  If variables.pjl
returns a line matching USERNAME= then it may work to remove the ppd section
where DSSC PRINT USERLOGIN is set.
