So can I create shell script which will be my filter to fix
the step affect problem of my output.
But wish to point the filter to a particular print queue I
have created.
Hope this makes sense.

You can easily create a filter using cups. Create
a new backend in /usr/lib/cups/backend. This can
be any executable, including scripts. What cups
will do is pass to this executable everything you need to
know about how to get the printed file to parse
it. Your new backend will then show up in your
cups configuration as a new printer type. The
following is a little perl script we use to implement a
printing dropfolder.
