Job forewarding with no processing

I work at a Print Center at a university and am interested in setting up a CUPS server to accept jobs and hold them for routing to one of several large network printers (Xerox DocuTech 6135) or some other printer.  The problem that I am encountering is that CUPS wants to change the files more often than I would like.  The jobs that are printed to the server are PostScript jobs, but they have an XML header, so CUPS wants to interpert them as text files.  Even without the header (a conforming PostScript file), I am having some errors with files that I normally have no problems with.

Can anyone suggest a configuration which would ensure minimal interference with the files.  {I have tried adding the XML files to the MIME type files and have them process as raw, but can't seem to get that to work)

I am running CUPS 1.1.15.61 on SUSE Enterprise Server 8 (2.4.19).

Thanks in advance!  CUPS is a wonderful product and KDEPrint is just what we are looking for to handle our job redirecting.
