Printing a number of copies of a txt file
Hi,

We have an application running on AIX5.3 that generates text files that are sent to be printed using the lp command.

The user can specify the number of copies they want printed, but only one copy ever gets printed.

I've checked the lp command that is used, and it correctly specifies the -n switch followed by the number of copies.

Is there something in the print queue definitions that prevents multiple copies being printed?

Any help or advice greatfully received.

Thanks, Steve

Are you using the AIX printing subsystem or the SystemV printing subsystem?

Hi,

I believe we're using the AIX print subsystem, but I'm not 100% certain - what would I check to confirm this?

Thanks, Steve

I would try using the enq command instead of the lp command and see if that works properly.
