LPR command -# X (number of copies) option not working

sampappachan_nyc · 06-20-2011, 10:50 AM

Hi,

I am not able to print multiple files when using the -#X (number of copies) option using lpr command.

The below is the command that i use :

lpr -#2 -o landscape -o deliver-to=Location -Pmyprinter file-name.pdf

Is there any configuration files that i need to modify for this option to be available ?

The printer that i have is using Postscript driver.

Please advise

Thank You
Sam Pappachan

Worth a try...

Hello Chris,

Even I am facing this issue. Both lp and lpr commands are not working for multiple copies. Always a single copy of the print is happening.

Please help me in this Regards,

Thanks in advance,
Allahbaksh.

try to decide whose lp & lpr you have.There are different ones. They use different options.

Have you cups installed? What have you installed to print with?

We are using he AIX lp and lpr.
