Actually, it can be, via the -m flag (although it's not the CUPS URI
in that case, but the driver or printer name).  The problem is that
some of the subcommands require direct access to the printer -- in
particular the status, identify, ink, and extended ink commands.

   It would be even better if it could be made to work as a CUPS
   'COMMAND' filter, and respond to a CUPS-COMMAND file by setting the
   CUPS device attributes for ink level.

   But is that too optimistic?

Dunno -- I don't know just what's involved here.
