ippeveprinter and *cupsManualCopies: True #540

Closed debiantriage closed 1 year ago

debiantriage commented 1 year ago

ippeveprinter is set up like this:

/usr/sbin/ippeveprinter -c /usr/local/bin/pdftopdfa -f application/pdf "Print to PDFA"

pdftopda converts a PDF to PDF/A. No problem with that.

ippfind gives a URI of Iipp://test-new.local:8001/ipp/prin. A permanent queue is created:

lpadmin -p pdfa-q -v URI -E -m everywhere

and printer to.

lp -d pdfa-q FILE.pdf

works very nicely. Not so with -n 5 added to the _lp_commandline. There is only one copy produced.

/etc/cups/ppd/pdfaq.pdf was edited to have cupsManualCopies: True added. CUPS was restarted. That works to give multiple copies.

Should the PPD be generated with *cupsManualCopies: True in it?

This issue appears to affect the Printer Applications too.
