How can I achieve the following behavior?

CUPS Server communicate with hardware printer by using the "PostScript3" language and the LPD/LPR protocol to manage and transmit printing jobs.
CUPS server must be configured to accept following file formats: PS, TXT, PDF, JPEG and PNG. This means only these files get printed and others should be blocked.
I want to connect actual hardware printer using IPP from the linux machine.
