How to print many copies

[martincab]

hi there!

We are moving from netware 5.0 to samba.

Our Windows application uses nprint netware utility to print many copies of the same file to a netware shared printers. These copies are printed without been mixed with other copies that have been sent simultaneously to same print queue.

Please, give me any clue to do this from windows to the linux print server. I tried with the print and lpr commands but those doesn't support many copies.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
