Cups Server: 2.6.15-26-powerpc (Ubuntu)
Cups Version: cups-1.3.3
Clients: OSX 10.4.x
Printer: HP 2300n (tried a few others - same problem) through USB (tried ethernet - same problem)

When a client prints more than one copy (either -n or with the printing dialog box), the printer prints more copies than requested.  When printing from the server box, it works fine.

We have a nearly identical system with a Xante printer, and it works fine.

Thanks.  I'm stumped.
