[Solved] Only Prints 1 copy, no matter how many selected.

Today Just Upgraded to newest Lithium3 on a few computers, amd64 version....
No matter what PDF viewer I install, if I want to print 2 or 99 copies of a document, it will only print 1 copy.
CUPS log shows that 2 or 99 pages were printed, but the printer only prints 1 copy.
This just happened with Lithium3, and did not happen with the old Helium version.
Printer is HL6200DW tried every driver in CUPS, IPP Everywhere has most features. Still the problem persist.
Does anyone know how to fix. I really hate to downgrade back to Helium, but I print multiple PDF copies every day for work, so this is a huge issue for me.

I found the solution, had to go to Brothers website and download and install their linux driver. Now it works correctly and more than 1 page can be printed!

Curious problem.
It is a Brother Laserprinter? Du you connect wireless or with cable? Have you tried both?

Have you tried disconnect power and let it rest without power, for at least 5 min?

Is it also problem printing many copies of single page documents?
Have you tried print from other computer?

Re: [Solved] Only Prints 1 copy, no matter how many selected.

Adding to this thread because I find that the latest version of Libre Office when asked to print more than one copy is only sending one copy with an instruction to the printer to print 6 or whatever. It seems that in HP speak this is Mopier Mode but not all printers can do this so no matter how many copies one asks for you only get one. The solution is to find the dialog for sending the copy multiple times.  It is in the More Options dialog at the bottom of Print Dialog Box.
