I would like to confirm this behavior, and add two comments: 1) Multiple copies of large documents take an incredibly long time to print because cups is doing far more work than it should have to. It makes slower systems unusable, for example, if 50 copies of a 10-page document are sent from OpenOffice.org
2) When duplexing, often you end up with unexpected results. Where an odd page document should have a 10th blank page inserted to restart the set on a fresh page, this is not the case. Currently you will end up with page 1 on the back side of page 9. This behavior is not acceptable. You can work around by submitting a new print job for each copy required, though this is clearly not practical if you are printing 100 copies of a document. A better solution would be for the job to be sent once to the printer, along with a command telling the printer how many copies to make. I'm very surprised this issue has not received more attention, it seems to be a major problem just in the few businesses I know that are using Ubuntu. -- Multiple copies of a job will be concatenated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
