I am wondering if CUPS can handle a proposed project

[Kurt Pfeifle]

> I work for a large organization that generates a daily report and splits it out amongst 150 printers using IBM's Infoprint. Infoprint is performing very poorly so I was thinking of replacing the functionality with CUPS--breaking the reports (ascii) up with Perl, converting them to postscript, and using LPR to send them to the appropriate printers. This works fine with the 5 printers I've tested it with, but does anyone foresee problems with using CUPS in this fashion with so many printers? The reports will not all print at once, maybe 10 at a time.

It should work fine.

If you were able to do it for 5 printers, you'll be able to do it for 150 or 1500. (The only gotcha is that each of the printers must be able to print what you/CUPS send them.)

(I assume you meant "lpr", the print command...)
