to print. Contained within each document was the code (postscript is a
computer language which runs on some printers.) to output multiple copies.
That is, samba has no influence on the number of copies printed, at least with
postscript printers.
So, maybe this is a driver problem, not a samba problem?
Shifting now to pure speculation, maybe the windows client computer and
the printer need to be in two way communication to allow multiple copies
to be printed.
I have found (On my little home network) that the best solution to
most printing problems is to set up a queue on the linux server which
handles postscript files well, and then send everything to that queue
as a postscript job. I use HP Laserjet III + and it works fine, and all
flavors of windows seems to have that printer driver available.
