297587 - Multi-copy multi-page odd page number prints first page of second copy on back of last page of first copy.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Ekkizogloy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When I try to print multiple copies of a webpage that has an odd number of pages
> 2 (i.e. 3 or 5) with a printer that can print front and back, the first page
of the second copy is printed on the back of the last page of the first copy. 

It appears that FireFox paginates all the pages of all the copies sequentially.
Multiple copies of pages should be started on new sheets of paper. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File -> Print
2. Set Copies > 2
3. Check Collate Box
4. Press Print

Actual Results:  
Printer prints pages seqentially front and back without starting a new copy on a
new sheet of paper. 

Expected Results:  
Each new copy of the website should start on a new sheet of paper.
