Hi Linda,

Thank you for the post. Hmmm, I decided to
try the process of elimination
- Not the apsfilter since I comment out 
the filter line and still 1 page
- Not the lprng since I use regular bsd lpr
and still 1 page
- Should not be samba since I just don't see
any magic word saying "print copies = yes" :)

Which leaves me to believe it's windows 2000.
Funny, in the end, it's not the open source that's
the problem, it's the commercial app. I'm using
the HP 560C printer driver in windows since whenever
I try to add the printer, windows insists on installing
the driver in itself.

Perhaps it just doesn't like samba :) Oh well,
I think I'll just accept it as a limitation and
enjoy my nice 1 page printed.

Cheers.

Mike Samuel

Subject: RE: LPRng: LPRng/Samba - cannot print multiple copies


I don't know if any of this well help but these are the
only printer related lines I have in /etc/samba/smb.conf
It was my setup under 6.2 and I kept the same config file
when I changed to 7.2. Like I said I have know idea why it
works but I print multiple copies all the times from windows.

 if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
  printcap name = /etc/printcap
  load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
   printing = bsd


# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
   comment = All printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   public = yes
   printable = yes
