I would expect CUPS to do that out of the box.  Once a job has been
processed, it can be sent to the printer as a whole and it won´t be
possible for other jobs to be printed in between.

Since CUPS doesn´t seem to do it out of the box, maybe there´s a
setting I need to change to make it do this?

Hi,

is it possible to make cups print a job while another job is still
being processed, on the same printer?

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?
