Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems between LO and CUPS

Hi Malcolm,

I haven't had the same issue as described in this thread, but it may be 
related. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and LibreOffice 4.1.5.3 presently. 
This situation has happened with all Ubuntu versions and LibreOffice 
versions in the last at least year and a half, as I update Ubuntu every 
6 months, and update LibreOffice running the latest stable version from 
The Document Foundation as they come out. It has happened on at least 4 
different printers. If I am printing multiple copies of a document in 
LibreOffice, lets say 10 copies, LibreOffice instead of sending 1 print 
job to the printer telling the printer to make 10 copies, it sends 10 
different print jobs to the printer printing 1 copy of each. All other 
programs I run in Ubuntu send 1 print job for the multiple copies. I 
found this out by attempting to print 50 copies of a two page document 
about a year and a half ago, which overwhelmed the printer, and then 
Ubuntu. If I make a pdf of the document, and then through the document 
viewer print 50 copies of the same document, it sends one print job 
telling the printer to print it 50 times. So there is something with 
LibreOffice and printing in Ubuntu at least, which works differently 
than all other Linux programs I have used in Ubuntu.
