Printing Multiple Copies

Has anyone come accross and solved an issue where only 1 copy of a doc prints after you use the -n flag and specify more then 1. My exact syntax is
lp -dprintername -n3 documentname
enq command does same thing.
Both commands show the 3 copies in the queue but only 1 ever prints
I am using AIX remote print queues and it happens on more then 1 printer.
Thoughts?

COPY(9) 						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						   COPY(9)

NAME
copy, copyin, copyout, copystr, copyinstr -- kernel copy functions SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/systm.h> int copyin(const void *uaddr, void *kaddr, size_t len); int copyout(const void *kaddr, void *uaddr, size_t len); int copystr(const void *kfaddr, void *kdaddr, size_t len, size_t *done); int copyinstr(const void *uaddr, void *kaddr, size_t len, size_t *done); DESCRIPTION
The copy functions are designed to copy contiguous data from one address to another. All but copystr() copy data from user-space to kernel- space or vice-versa. The copy routines provide the following functionality: copyin() Copies len bytes of data from the user-space address uaddr to the kernel-space address kaddr. copyout() Copies len bytes of data from the kernel-space address kaddr to the user-space address uaddr. copystr() Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long, from kernel-space address kfaddr to kernel-space address kdaddr. The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating NUL, is returned in *done (if done is non-NULL). copyinstr() Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long, from user-space address uaddr to kernel-space address kaddr. The num- ber of bytes actually copied, including the terminating NUL, is returned in *done (if done is non-NULL). RETURN VALUES
The copy functions return 0 on success or EFAULT if a bad address is encountered. In addition, the copystr(), and copyinstr() functions return ENAMETOOLONG if the string is longer than len bytes. SEE ALSO
