[SL] Re: Printing multiple copies?

Hello David.
I CAN print multiple copies from other software on RH7.3
But in SL it's doesn't work.
I do agree with you. I DON'T think it's a SL ledger fault since it works for 
other people.
I'm starting to wonder if there is a better way to do this so that it is more 
distro tolerant. (Like Alex's suggestion of using  "lpr -#n")

Cheers,
Roy
