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 becoming unresponsive while the requests are being fulfilled. We are currently working on a task-based feedback data-flow that removes the current limitation.
