This seems like it should be possible. The potential issue would be how to ensure a whole job is printed, before a new job is sent. With a single cups process sending to the printer, it should be able to print as jobs get prepared. But configuring such might not be possible with current setup...

Processing a large job can take quite some time, and the printer is idle while the large job is being processed and other, smaller jobs, are idly waiting in the queue for the large job to finish. I want like a maximum of 20 jobs being processed at the same time so that the printer can print the ones that have already been processed immediately when their processing has finished. Why should cups be limited to use only one CPU?
