Description G. Lamar Wilkie 2025-08-31 13:58:26 UTC
Description:
Writer 25.8 for Linux

I tried to print three copies of a document. Only ONE copy printed. I tried to collate, and not collate, even as few as 2 copies. Still, only one copy printed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL+P
2. Enter number of copies to be printed
3. PRINT

Actual Results:
Only one copy prints, regardless of the number of copies entered

Expected Results:
If I set the print command for 3 copies of a document, I expect 3 copies to print


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The print dialog's "number of copies" should result in that number of copies being sent to the print queue, not just one copy. Setting the number to five copies, however, results in ONE copy being printed. The print queue is empty and there are no further pending print actions. The only workaround is to print one copy at a time.

Lamar & John: please tell us which printer models you are using. Also, Please copy and paste here the content of your Help - About (LibreOffice - About on macOS) by clicking the copy button. This allows us to know more about your system.

I assume this isn't reproducible by printing to file, correct?
