[Samba] bug - white paper

This multiple print job issue was discussed on the list a while back. You might
search the archives.

In printing from windows, basically, the client tells the printer how
many copies to print. Samba doesn't get involved. I believe there is
no variable to encode the number of jobs. Instead, the print file
contains that information. Samba just sends the print file to the
printer. From that point, it is up to the printer and the print
file to figure out what do do. This may be a printer driver problem.

Even printing from linux, the number of jobs is encoded in the print
file if you are printing to a samba supplied queue from an application
like abiword.

Only when printing from the linux command line do you specify the number of
jobs,
and then, samba isn't involved.

The extrapage of white paper may be a driver problem, too.
Or, maybe the samba queue in /etc/printcap doesn't have the :sh parameter.

Or, maybe this has nothing to do with your problem!
