[cups.general] is it possible to offload more than one job at a time to an ipp queue?

Add "?waitjob=false" to the end of the device URI.  If you are using a CUPS shared printer (automatically added on the client) you can use:

    cupsctl 'BrowseRemoteOptions="waitjob=false"'

on the client or:

    cupsctl 'BrowseLocalOptions="waitjob=false"'

on the server.
