At the moment I am running Suse Linux 9.3 on my workstation
and for me it works well:

for i in $( seq 100 999 )
do echo -n "$i "
   date
   lpadmin -p p$i -v file:/dev/null -E -P /usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.ppd.gz
done

creates the queues with constant rate (about 3 queues each second)
without any problem and

for i in $( seq 100 999 )
do echo -n "$i "
   date
   lpadmin -x p$i
done

removes them (about 60 queues each second) without any problem.


Even under heavy load with active print jobs using for example

for i in $( seq 100 999 )  
do echo -n "$i "
   date
   lpadmin -p p$i -v file:/dev/null -E -P /usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.ppd.gz
   lp -d p$i /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/spm.pdf
done

works without any error, but of course now it takes much much more
time to complete.
