printing more then one copy to HP

[islandwolf]

When printing multiple copies to any printer on AIX 4.1.2 only one copy prints even though two copies show in spooler. The printers are jetdirect and are set up in Host and in qconfig by way of Smitty. We tried re-adding the queue with "local Filering instead of standard processing but when we need to choose the driver we get error message that the software does not support this. What can I do to allow AIX to print more then one copy? The same result happens with applicatons and command line lpr -#3 -P(printer_queue_name) file. I also tried lp with -n3 and got same result. Is there something in the AIX server that will not allow multiple copies from command line? We are using bsdshort and bsdlong in the qconfig file.

have you tried this:

# lp -d print_queue_name -c -n 2
