Oh, I used that several times in the past.

However, it looks like I don't need that feature.

With "FilterLimit 0" (so, no limits, or with that commented out), when I 
started several print jobs, from different users:

lp -d My_Printer file1.pdf
lp -d My_Printer file2.pdf
lp -d My_Printer file3.pdf

I see only one filter job running at a time.

Which I don't really understand, as I'm certain I saw multiple filter 
jobs running on this machine today, and was the reason for this thread. 
Or was it because of CUPS restart (which doesn't seem to kill any 
running filters)? Hmm.
