Hello,
thank you for the quick answer.
A dedicated backend, preferably a script, would utilize a web service call,
passing a ticket together with the document.
I've skimmed the source code of the last stable version of cups,
unfortunately I haven't been able to figure the interface mentioned.
Maybe I've overlooked some points.
Kind regards
Mirolsaw

How do you communicate with the printer?
There is an interface for proxy authentication that is already used by the
SMB and IPP backends.
