CUPS filter compression feature in RHEL 7

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We are experiencing some problems (probably due to the network connection or to the printer network interface) that leads to some delays in the printing and to a general degradation of the printer performances (the application can send also thousands of printouts at a specific time). Each printout is about 150 KB that becomes about 900 KB because of raster filter. We would like to compress the data stream sent to the printer. Does cups-filters support compression?
