Isn't CUPS just a PostScript printer?  That means it has to work with 
data in PostScript format - which, IIRC, is plain-text.  Which, in turn, 
means you can potentially inject a header wherever you want.

But editing raw PostScript data is kind of hard.  An easier method:

http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sum.html

See that link for "Pretty Print".  Then the trick would be to name the 
file such that it includes the username in the filename.
