In the old days and with previous print spooling systems for UNIX and
Linux, we would use custom filters to strip out or override certain
settings within a job, before it was passed on to the printer.

That kind of thing is certainly possible with CUPS.  It's perhaps not
as straightforward to insert an arbitrary filter of your choosing
into the job chain as it was with certain other spoolers, but it's still
possible with enough knowledge and determination.
