printing is disabled, but will only queue up one job

We process jobs (tiffs) to send to a Cups server. When printer is disabled it will only queue up one job?


Here is the command line we use to send jobs over to Cups server from a Cups server using Cups 1.1.2 to a Cups server using Cups 1.4.5.

lpr -Plapr1 job1 job2 job3 job4 job5 job6 job7 job8

(in this case only job1 will queue up on Cups print queue?)


lapr1:
        printer is on device 'socket' speed -1
        queuing is enabled
        printing is disabled
        1 entries
        daemon present

When we enable printing, print queue lapr1 will queue up all the jobs and send them to printer.

How can we fix/work around this issue. We can only use the lpr print command because of how the hold process is of selecting a which printer to print to.
