As far as I know there is no solution.
I think you should reconfigure your printers to automatically detect that a
postscript file has been spooled. So: in the interface script do a check on '%!'
as first characters of the file (eg via the 'file' command).

Other option is to define a class in the printspool system. Submit postscript
files to this class and check on this class name in the printerscript.
