Printer will only print a page at a time on Fedora cinnamon.

Printer will only print a page at a time on Fedora cinnamon.

I enter 10 in the number of pages to print it only prints one page.

Whatever I write in the field a or b or c it only prints one page.

Any ideas.

Does this happen regardless of the application? Please share more details about your printer and driver...
Code:
lpstat -t
Code:
egrep -i "name|model|filter" /etc/cups/ppd/*

Take a look at /var/log/cups. One of the log files there might provide some hints as to what's happening.

If your printer has a menu dialog, you might also want to look there. Admittedly, this is a shot in the dark, but it's likely worth checking.

Have made it shorter but cannot see anything wrong.

Thanks for your help.

That bad file number might be because I was putting a b c text in

Ok, first you should enclose requested commands and output within CODE tags. (Refer to the '#' button in the advanced forum editor.)

The output you shared shows that you have 3 printers defined. Likely not intentional and possibly as a result of trying different drivers while configuring?
Code:
device for EPSON-XP-640-Series: usb://EPSON/XP-640%20Series?serial=583245343032343072&interface=1
device for EPSON-XP-640-Series-2: usb://EPSON/XP-640%20Series?serial=583245343032343072&interface=1
device for XP-640-Series: usb://EPSON/XP-640%20Series?serial=583245343032343072&interface=1
The .ppd grep shows that the first two printer configs are using the gutenprint driver but for two different models...
Code:
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*PCFileName: "STP04953.PPD"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*ModelName: "Epson Expression Home XP-820"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*ShortNickName: "Epson Expression Home XP-820"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*NickName: "Epson Expression Home XP-820 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3 Simplified"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertogutenprint.5.3"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series.ppd:*StpDriverName: "escp2-xp820"
and
Code:
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*PCFileName: "STP04957.PPD"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*ModelName: "Epson XP-15000 Series"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*ShortNickName: "Epson XP-15000 Series"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*NickName: "Epson XP-15000 Series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3 Simplified"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertogutenprint.5.3"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-command 33 commandtoepson"
/etc/cups/ppd/EPSON-XP-640-Series-2.ppd:*StpDriverName: "escp2-xp15000"
The third (XP-640-Series) is disabled and was configured to use a foomatic-rip driver.

It may well be that you are not using a PPD appropriate for your particular model.

This CUPS log has been moved into journal by default
Quite correct, but most SystemD-using distros that I've used include rsyslog, which pipes journald messages into the traditional log format under /var/log.
