If it is in postscript form, then you can use (or pipe through) the
psselect program in the psutils package.  I haven't tried it, but I
see where cups configuration has a filter option, one of which is
ordering using psselect.  I see it in cups configuration and in the
options for individual print jobs, so you just need to look deeper
into the configuration options.  It is available in the KDE versions
of the print manager, but I don't know that is available elsewhere.
