lp not printing multiple copies
I'm trying to print multiple copies of a file on sun solaris 8 with the lp -n command to no
avail. No matter what numeric value I supply -n, I still only get 1 copy of the file printed. The command I'm using is 'lp -d SNY_IT5000-2 -n2 file' The printer is an HP Laserjet 4000 with a Jetdirect card. My printers.conf entry is: SNY_IT5000-2:\ :bsdaddr=10.10.21.17,10.10.21.17:\ :description=SNY_IT5000-2: Printing in this manner works fine otherwise, it just won't print multiple copies. Can you help please? Thanks in Advance Last edited by hassan2; 09-02-2003 at 09:24 AM. |

I haven't had to mess with printing for some time (all done on the NT side) but if I remember correctly, it's something to do with /etc/lp/interfaces/yourprintername files.

That HP link is for a different problem. Hassan2 always gets 1 copy but wants more copies. The link addresses an issue where the user gets an infinite number of copies.
We no longer have laserjets, but we still have the software which really should have been removed. I can look at the software, but I can't test anything. So this is a shot in the dark. We have two interface scripts, one in /etc/lp/interfaces and the second in /etc/lp/interfaces/model.orig. The first calls the second. In the second one I see some code... Code:
if [ $ "$topaz" = "yes" ] then echo "@PJL SET QTY = $copies" copies="1" fi If you have the same code, you might look at the printer options to see if you can get this to work. Or try commenting out that paragraph. |
