How do I send all the print jobs to a CUPS master server at once

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We've set up a "master print server" using the instructions at How do I set up a master print server using CUPS in RHEL?. Sometimes there are 500 or 1000+ print requests getting initiated on a client. All the requests are queued on the client and they are sent to the CUPS master server only one at a time. Can this behavior can be changed such that the jobs for any specific queue can be pushed from CUPS clients to the CUPS server immedately instead of waiting for the last job on that queue to complete printing.

Environment
