[cups.general] CUPS and MacOS 10.3.9

[marc at arctic.net]

well,  I thought I had an answer for you but the progression isn't correct.  What happens sometimes is someone sets the printer itself to X copies,  and then if you ask for Y copies  you get X times Y copies,  but I have never seen Y^2 copies
