[cups.general] Cups Windows Drivers .... copies ignored?

[Michael R Sweet]

The Windows driver should be embedding the number of copies as a  
PostScript command, which normally gets passed down to the driver  
(raster) or printer (PostScript).  Are you by chance using a Foomatic- 
based driver on your CUPS system?
