When printing a web page or email message and selecting more than one (1) copy,
say 2, the number of copies does not change back to the default (1). Each
additional print job, where it be from Navigator or Messenger will print two (2)
copies unless manually changed to one (1).

Reproducible: Always

1. From Messenger; File, Print, Change number of copies to 2, print
2. Switch to Navigator; File, Print...look at number of copies (2)
3.

Actual Results:  
The number of copies does not change back to one (1) as expected.

Expected Results:  
Changed the number of copies back to one (1).

Tested on nightly build 1.8.0.2004100705, same results!!

This also occurs on Sun Sparc, and seems platform-indepentent.

Worse: Once you have changed the number of copies, you cannot reset it back to 1
*without printing something*. The only place where you can change the number of
copies is in the print dialogue. And the only way to exit the print-dialogue is
by pressing 'print' or 'cancel'. When you cancel, the number of prints reverts
back to whatever you last set. This is of course very inconvenient, the end-user
has to try and remember resetting this the next time they print.
