Hi Asya,
I can only presume that you would need to follow a similar path: check what
PJL (or other) parameters working jobs from Windows to the printer use, and
then create filters that input these into printjobs sent via CUPS, with the
necessary logic of multiple users (in the examples so far, the parameters
could be hard-coded in the filters).
I am already in way over my paygrade here though.
