View Full Version : [ubuntu] Number of copies not working on HP 6MP

Hello,

I've been having a problem getting the number of copies to print correctly for my HP 6MP Postscript printer. Essentially, if I enter more than a single digit (for example, 10) I will get nothing (if the second digit is a 0), or the value of the second digit as long as it is >0 and <=9.

I have tried printing 1-9 copies, which works fine. Printing 10 gives nothing, but data is sent to printer (light blinks). 33 copies got me 3 prints, and 34 got 4 prints.

Something must be wrong with how the PPD is interpreting the copies number. I have tried other drivers and other programs to get this to work. I tried printing the image in an image viewer and gimp, to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Haven't tried HP, but printing copies in Intrepid is hosed... period. Can't get multiples... haven't tried a single digit multiple though. I have made a bug reprot and encourage you to do the same... they seem to be ignoring me.
