What is the ruling on working in centers that prepare university research for students in exchange for a fee, and can a way be found to make this work permissible?

What the centers and students do by cooperating in cheating and treachery is forbidden (haram), and the money resulting from it is unlawful (haram) money. As for working in the field of printing research and the like, which is unrelated to the original research, there is no harm in it, provided that it is not known that the research is not the result of the student's own effort; otherwise, the printing would be a cooperation in sin.
