I've had excellent results printing pictures in Ubuntu with HP's
OfficeJet Pro 8000 and K5400. These are both ink jets, but are more
economical on ink than many ink jets.

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.

Thank you Webmaster,
Yes, that is the way I figured out to do it once it was too late. Had
I only known that before I tried sending the print job in the first
place I could have saved myself a ton of time and aggravation!

There has to be a way to do the multiple copies in one print job.
I printed a page using CUPS-PDF, but Export to PDF will do.
Then I went to print it out to an HP color laser printer. There was
a "number of copies" option show. I wonder it that will make 5 or
10 jobs, just printing the same job 5 or 10 times?
Do you have that option for your printers?

Hi :)
Wow! Blimey! Sounds like a nightmare!
Have you had a chance to check to see if there is already a
bug-report about this?

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Printing Multiple Copies Problem

Hi Everyone,
I'm running LibreOffice (version directly from LibreOffice) 3.4.4
on Ubuntu 11.10. I tried printing 75 copies of a single sheet with
significant graphics (large file size) on a black and white
Konica-Minolta PagePro 1400w laser printer. I had no idea that
LibreOffice would be sending 75 individual print jobs to the
printer instead of 1 print job with 75 copies. It crashed the
printer, and also the driver after several copies. Then there was
the horrendous mess of getting all of the unprinted jobs deleted.
I was able to use my inkjet (HP OfficeJet Pro 8000) to finish the
printing after the laser crashed. Once again individual print jobs
were sent for each copy, but the printer did not crash. Once
everything was printed, I had about 10 minutes of icons coming on
the screen saying printing started and printing completed when the
printing was all done. The icons were playing catchup with all of
the print jobs. I've tried to research this. The only way I've
found that you can print a large number of copies is to export
the page to pdf, and then print the pdf. Programs other than
LibreOffice (GEdit, Document Viewer) send 1 job to the printer with
multiple copies. This problem did not exist in OpenOffice a year
ago with whatever was the current version of openoffice on Ubuntu
10.10 back then when I printed the same job on the same laser printer.
Has anyone else had similar problems, or does anyone have any other
solutions? I filed a bug report in bug 33696 on Freedesktop.org. It
may not have been the best place for it since that was a bug report
for a 3.3x version and for Windows.
Don
