Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing Multiple Copies Problem

I have been using HP lasers since "laser II" days.  The options can be 
different between my Ubuntu drivers and Windows version, but HP usually 
has some good options that are kept from the earlier versions.  That job 
copy option is one, if I remember right.

I just wish that the color printed for the HP Color Laser for Linux was 
as good as the original Windows version.  Right now the free drivers for 
Linux/Ubuntu do not do a good job at colors for the photos.
