Problem description:
Printing multiple copies creates multiple tasks in print queue. When printing 50 copies of one single page, 50 print tasks appears in print queue. This extremely slows down printing (near 10 sec. per copy). My printer is HP LaserJet 1300.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a single page document - may be blank
2. Press Ctrl+P, select default printer
3. Set number of copies to 5 or more, and push "Print" button

Current behavior:
Creates multiple tasks in print queue. Every single-page task runs with 5-10 sec. delay.

Expected behavior:
Must create single task, printing fast with no delay between pages - as fast, as printer can.

Platform (if different from the browser): 
Ubuntu 12.04

This is a deal breaker. I produce a weekly bulletin with pretty heavy graphics. To load multiple copies as multiple jobs takes me well over an hour to output a single page, when in Windows it takes about 8 minutes. Not fixing means that Libre Office is definitely not ready for any serious use at all and must be relegated to the toy category. This is basic stuff that I would expect not to have to endure.

I'm also seeing this with LibreOffice 4.0.3.2 (rc2) on Ubuntu 13.04 Linux (64-bit).  I created a one-line document and tried to print 10 copies. In my print queue, I saw 10 print jobs listed.

Looks similar with Bug 41524, Linux only bug.

I can't reproduce using LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit)
