The basic idea to get something specific for a print queue is
to not define it via general config files (like mime.types
and mime.convs) that affect all print jobs or all print queues
but instead to define it via print queue specific config files.

For usual print queues the PPD file /etc/cups/<queue_name>.ppd
is the only print queue specific config file that looks
appropriate for such a task.

Only an untested blind proposal:

Perhaps one can create print queue specific filtering rules
via the cupsFilter2 keyword in the PPD file, see
http://cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/spec-ppd.html
