On second reading of your question, I seem to have invented the part
where your receipts are generated by a web app that you're accessing via
Firefox. I think "kiosk" has wrongly tied itself to "locked-down web
browser" in my mind.

Anyway, I think the problem is best attacked in the application that
submits the jobs rather than CUPS.
