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.
