I have some problems with printing multiple copies on a generic queue.
The LPRng version is 3.6.26, the OS Solaris 8. The queues are defined as:
d105_hp|d105_hp Generische HP Queue (D106):\
:client:\
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

After issuing the command
rzdspc0% lpr -#3 -Pd105_hp motd.ps
the print job get is error mode on the generic queue, saying the files
could not be copied to the subserver queue:
rzdspc0# lpq -Pd105_hp

The status file /var/spool/lpd/d105_hp/status.d105_hp says:

Looks like lpd wants to link the df file several times into the
subserver queue.
