I am wondering if something similar happens, or is configurable, when a cups server is sending a print job to a queue on another cups server?  If so it would keep us from having to custom implement such a system etc.

You could use the gzip command (perhaps wrapepd by a backend script)
to compress the jobs on the sending end; they will be decompressed
automagically by the gziptoany filter which will be the very first
filter of the filter chain then (probably not for raw queues).
