This depends on the software, OS version, and phase of the moon. I have seen: a) No multiple copy information, even though it was requested. b) A job with N data files, each corresponding to a copy of the job c) A job with 1 data file, and a control file with N data file entries. d) N submitted print jobs. I think that b) is most common when you are using UNIX (bsd) printing services, and d) when you are using Samba.
