*You can install, update, and uninstall 20 printers at a time, but we recommend to restrict it to 5 for the time being. This is to prevent the browser from clogging up, and become unresponsive while the requests are being fulfilled. We are currently working on a task based feedback data-flow, that removes the current limitation.
