Thanks James. I think you may have answered the other half of a long 
standing lack of knowledge on my part.

My understanding was that if you just put a number in the "Number of 
Copies" box then the print job told the printer to print multiple 
copies. It didn't send the job multiple times and if the printer did not 
understand or could not cache the job for multiple copies then you just 
got one copy and that's why I just got one copy. I have never had much 
need for multiple copies of print output so have not ventured further.
I assume from your instructions the multiple copies are now concatenated 
and sent as one big print job.

Thanks, steve
