I am sending to a Brother 7020 and Phaser 8560N and two Epson Pro 4800 printers through a cups server in a mac lab. I want to disable printing from microsoft word as too many students are sending their essays through the wrong printers. It's a fine-art print-lab that. Students need to be sending images/pdf only.

No, because by the time CUPS sees the print job it just has a PDF
file.
