Description NameknowntotheNSA 2018-11-20 19:40:15 UTC
Description:
Working with several printers under Windows 10, I have run into the above issue.
The default printer has "1" as the number of copies in the "print" dialogue, as it should. If you then try to select another printer, the number of copies will be automatically elevated to another number (3, 5..) - this number seems to follow the alphabetically sorted position of the selected printer (like Canon=2, Epson=3, HP=5 etc.). My current version of LO is 6.0.6.2 (x64), Windows ver. 1803 (build 17134.407) - the previous version already had this bug, but it took some time to trace. The workaround is easy: reset the number to 1 before printing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call Printer dialog (ctrl+p)
2. Select a different printer 
3. Check the number of copies

Actual Results:
see description

Expected Results:
incorrect number of copies printed if you overlook the changed number in the dialog box


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The number should have remained at the default "1"

at two other machines (same OS and LO version) the bug doesn't occur, but different printers (may be driver-specific?

The bug does occur in Windows 10 (see orig. report), may be config specific

Comment 5 NameknowntotheNSA 2018-11-27 23:31:26 UTC
Probably so, and not on every machine, will try completely uninstalling and installing LO again and reassess this as soon as I have spare time (next weekend?)

Please see Bug 119250 and reset profile as a solution, no need to reinstall.
