Both syntax seem to ignore the number of copies, whatever it is and just print 1.  doc says that this should work and it did on prior sco.  This is a serial connected text only Genicom line printer but the -n does not do anything on any of our printers.  maxcopies is at default of 100.  Have been hunting for this off and on for months.  Any help appreciated!!!

Thanks much. right you are, i put a few lines of code into the textonly filter to take care of it and it works fine (just picked up parameter 4 and used it to loop.)
