>From the ifhp.conf file:
##
## Forced processing of all files
##
## Problem: you want to process all files that pass through ifhp
## including literal files. Basically, you want to ignore the -c
## option which LPRng has passed in.
##
## Setting forceprocessing to true will force ifhp to process all files
## which are passed to it, ignoring the -c option. Jobs for autodetect
## printers are not processed.
## This can be useful when you want to process all print jobs which arrive.
## eg: to add a 'colorasgray' before all jobs to force colour printouts to
## come out in grayscale. Without forceprocessing users can specify -b|-l
## to lpr and get around the conversion.
##
# Set forceprocessing to process all files.
forceprocessing@
So you set :ifhp=model=...,forceprocessing
