CUPS prints 1 page as 4 pages

I am trying to print via a Windows shared printer, but when I print 1 page, CUPS processes it as 4 pages. It comes out at a wrong resolution and size on letter paper. Why?
thanks

I don't think it's CUPS. Most likely the setup on Windows was left in that mode. Open the printer dialog on Windows and check the properties.

The Windblowz machine can print just find.

Hi Geremia , check zoom and portrait/landscape in all places,
the software where you are working, the driver on Slackware-cups page
of that printer, and the settings on Windows, etc...
Somewhere, somebody is sending wrong settings, you must find where and who

I'm using this virtual pdf printer a few months and it is very useful,
at least you can see if from Slackware-side printing is ok.
