Strange behaviour of option -# with lpr

Hi all,

we're using (we have to) version 1.1.20 of cups.
I have a raw printer queue and when I want to print with
lpr -P <queuename> -# 200 <file> I get the error message:
lpr: unable to print file: client-error-bad-request

After digging around (because this message can be nothing and
everything) I found out (with luck), that the number 200 for
the copy count is the reason rejecting this command.
E.g. with 100 it is working.

1) Is there a limit? Why? What?
2) Can I change the limit? (RAW Printer?)

Best regards
Andreas Mock
