If you can coalesce multiple jobs into a single submission then you'll be more likely to see the full engine speed of each printer. Also, you may want to disable the "wait" features of the backend if the ultimate destination is a network printer - see the following documentation for details:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html">http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you can provide more information about your setup we can probably provide additional guidance to make this work as desired.</div><div><br></div><div>
