Unfortunately, doing it the other way around and trusting CUPS has problems too. Aside from the fact that we still support builds without CUPS, CUPS its self has (at least historically) had problems with multiple copes. If I recall correctly, when I looked into the issue it looked like it'd generate code to repeat the job that not all printers could understand, some printers - especially older or cheap and nasty PostScript laser printers - would appear to "ignore" the request for multiple copies. Overall I think it'd be beter to set the CUPS "number of pages" option where possible, and let the CUPS folks deal with old printers. They're not Scribus's problem. |

>>> Overall I think it'd be beter to set the CUPS "number of pages" option where possible, and let the CUPS folks deal with old printers. They're not Scribus's problem. Isn't it the other way around: only older printers don't understand multiple copies using cups. Why not make the cups way the default (as in 1.2), and add an option in Preferences to override cups for older printers. I routinely print 300+ copies with Scribus, and now (1.3) it has become a bit of a hassle. The max. amount of copies you can select under 'Printer Options' is 100, so I have to launch 3 print jobs to complete my work. |

>>> Err, 1.3.2cvs has copies max of 1000 in druck.cpp... Is that the max. number that can be set from the main printer dialog? Below is a sniplet from my cupsd.conf, yet the 'Printer Options' window will only let me choose up to 100 copies. # MaxCopies: maximum number of copies that a user can request. Default is # 100. # MaxCopies 500 |
