Hi Alex,Processing instructions (such as copies) should never be embedded in PDF files anymore.
On the wire, they should be in the IPP PrintJob or CreateJob request (i.e., job ticket).
CUPS or other client should send "copies" through the CUPS filter chain.(so that client-side
copies can be done, if the target printer does not support multiple copies).Mike Sweet - can you answer why cupsManualCopies PPD attribute is always set to "true"?Cheers,- IraIra McDonald (Musician / Software Architect)
