Of course, you're right. I get multiple copies if I boot Windows and I also get multible copies trying to print from another Windows-Box over then network (same Driver/OS). But I think Windows have a other way to manage that ?! > We had the same complaint a while back. Are you the same person that > complained before?

The next time buying a printer I will be smarter! ..but it is no Postscriptprinter! (I know it could be so easy *grr*) I did also some testing and you're right: I printed a letter into a file (in Windows with multible copies), copied the file onto the Linux-Box and did some 'cat file > /dev/lp0' .. result: Only one copy. So it is not a samba problem! .. but why does this work in Windows (also over the network .. see above) ?? > Shifting now to pure speculation, maybe the windows client computer and > the printer need to be in two way communication to allow multiple copies > to be printed. > > I have found (On my little home network) that the best solution to > most printing problems is to set up a queue on the linux server which > handles postscript files well, and then send everything to that queue > as a postscript job.

I tried, but I found no usefull method to print postscript files with a non-postscript-printer. pstotext with pipe to lpr is not really rocking *gg* Thanks for your help!
