Without going too much into the details of how cups determined the type of the print data,
the main principle of this algorithm is to check the rules increasing from the lowest to 
the highest complexity (roughly with respect to computational effort).
So, the checking the file name extension is by far the simplest thing and is
tested first.
So, eliminating the pdf file name extension from the rules is certainly one of the
first methods I’d try in your case.
