Using this StarBasic code to print the first page of a document twice:
        Dim arg(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
        arg(0).name = "Pages"
        arg(0).value = "1"
        arg(1).name = "CopyCount"
        arg(1).value = 2
        ThisComponent.print(arg())

The Mac native print dialog will open for a two page(!) document which contains 
two times the first 
page of the original document and nothing else. On a Canon Pixma MP800 the No. 
of copies in the 
print dialog is set to "1" which all together will end up in printing the first 
page twice because the doc 
to print consists of two times the first page. Strange, but working as intended.

Using a HP Photosmart printer as default printer however, the number of copies 
in the print dialog is 
set to "2" so just accepting the dialog  you will end up with four times the 
same page. Same Document, 
same code.
I see no sense in doing extensive research finding out exactly what happens, 
but from some piece of 
code of the interface the printer must know that there have been demanded 2 
copies to print - a code 
which is ignored by canon printer but not by HP and which should be cleant up 
imho to avoid 
irreproducible results in macros used for printing.
