cups 1.1.21 (Suse 9.2) is printing jobs (single pages, 19 copies 
ordered) not only 19 times but endless of times. 100% reproduceable! 
Some workaround available?

technical background:
The office who claims that bug works this way: the client (diskless 
linux client DLC) prints the job to a ipp-queue. (BTW: Every DLC has the 
same printer queues). Then ipp-queue prints a raw-queue on the real 
device, the "parallelport"-raw-queue mapped to /dev/lp0 (on any DLC!):

BTW: browsing cups-queues is turned off.
