Not sure if this is quite what you were looking for. But, using
the following command, I still only got 1 copy from the Toshiba
printer:


lp -p <printer_name> -n 2 <file>

This command *did* yield 2 copies on the HP printer, though. The
command Brian suggested only gave me an error when trying to
specify a page count.
This would be good, but I need to print multiple copies of pages
within a document.


Yes, unfortunately, it doesn't really help in your situation. But,
since you are using an HP printer, the collate option should work for
you to be able to get more than one copy of your document, or pages of
your document. I can confirm that it works with page ranges, at least
it does for me.


Unfortunately, there's still no explanation as to *why* multiple
copies doesn't work unless collation is selected, or why it doesn't
work at all for a printer that I never had a problem with under Hardy.

Multiple copies works for me (intrepid) via OOo and Firefox to both a
Canon MP750 (via IPP) and to a cups-pdf printer. This appears (IMO) to
be an HP issue. Could be wrong, but I find no issues printing via IPP
from Intrepid to an Hardy connected Canon.

My apologies - I did check the lpr man page - and I've done so again -
but in this case it looks like Intrepid is different than Hardy (and
Lenny, and Darwin) so I gather now it's -n # of copies not just -#

I'm mildly shocked they'd change that mind you.... I wonder if that's
why some things are having issues.

And I'm not too surprised it worked on the HP - you still have collate
set as a default option don't you.

I want to throw in that I *can* print multiple copies to an HP
printer, but must have collate selected. I *can not* print multiple
copies from a Toshiba eStudio-451c mutli-function. Again, I have
never had these problems with any previous version of Ubuntu (since
6.04).

I have tried setting collate as a default, but it doesn't appear to
"stick". I still have to select it in the print dialog every time I
try to print more than one copy. But, in the past I was able to print
multiple copies of a document regardless of whether or not collate was
checked.

I finally got around to trying this out today and it does indeed work.
Selecting Collate does print multiples and is a good enough solution for
the moment.


I'll file a bug report.

Thanks for the help,

Why not just post the full link to it so that others not familiar with
launchpad can simply click and view?
