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...
This looks like an attempt to send the job to the printer once and have the printer print it multiple times.
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.

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... (5 Replies)

smbspool
SMBSPOOL(8) System Administration tools SMBSPOOL(8)NAME
smbspool - send a print file to an SMB printer
SYNOPSIS
smbspool {job} {user} {title} {copies} {options} [filename]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
smbspool is a very small print spooling program that sends a print file to an SMB printer. The command-line arguments are
position-dependent for compatibility with the Common UNIX Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing system or from a
program or script.
DEVICE URI
smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can take a number of
forms:
o smb://server[:port]/printer
o smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer
o smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
o smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer
smbspool tries to get the URI from the environment variable DEVICE_URI. If DEVICE_URI is not present, smbspool will use argv[0] if that
starts with "smb://" or argv[1] if that is not the case.
Programs using the exec(2) functions can pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the DEVICE_URI environment variable prior to
running smbspool.
OPTIONS
o The job argument (argv[1]) contains the job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool.
o The user argument (argv[2]) contains the print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool.
o The title argument (argv[3]) contains the job title string and is passed as the remote file name when sending the print job.
o The copies argument (argv[4]) contains the number of copies to be printed of the named file. If no filename is provided then this
argument is not used by smbspool.
o The options argument (argv[5]) contains the print options in a single string and is currently not used by smbspool.
o The filename argument (argv[6]) contains the name of the file to print. If this argument is not specified then the print file is read
from the standard input.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
smbspool was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products.
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to
DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
