If you're using standard /etc/printcap entries, it should
be easy to write a simple filter that just does "| tee"
for the regular printing input and branch a copy of it
to the PDF printer which then stores the file, while
the original PS stream will arrive at the actual
printer filter.

Sorry I can't be more CUPS-specific as I have abandoned
this... "monster" many years ago. :-)
