Instead of using raw printing, you may slightly edit the printer’s PPD:
comment out the „*cupsFilter:“ statement and insert (just after this line) the line
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 -"

This permits to use all the printer specific PPD options from the command line or print dialogs
from application’s user interfaces.

PS: intercepting the filter chain at "vnd.cups-postscript“ may lead to problems depending on the
CUPS version installed on the print server machine (ask for the details of possible problems
if you need them).
