They feed one at a time.
See this is what I hate about all these propreitery bs. They don't put the option to select alternative because "user too dumb."
Android has a cups client app, so you can use that instead of Google's printing service.
It's on f-droid.
FYI: CUPS was recently outed as extremely insecure and irrevocably broken by design. So if you're not actively printing, it's probably best to uninstall it.
Link?
So it's only the cups-browsed service. I wonder if that's enabled on any distros by default. Will have to check mine tomorrow.
You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.
Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all .. I haven't had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
