You do not need to write your own filter. I have already written one 
(rastertopdf) and it is part of the cups-filters package which supplies 
filters and utilities for use of CUPS in Linux/Unix-non-Mac environments.

I am upstream maintainer of cups-filters and you find cups-filters here:

You should be able to build at least the rastertopdf filter also under 
Mac OS X.

All components of cups-filters are free software.
