Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Andrew Benton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100126 Minefield/3.7a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100126 Minefield/3.7a1pre

When I try to print multiple copies of something Firefox and Thunderbird only 1 copy comes out of the printer. CUPS reports no errors, says the job completed successfully. Other applications (Abiword, Geany, Epdfview) have no problem printing multiple copies.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click File> Print...
2.Change the number of copies to 2
3.Click print
Actual Results:  
Only 1 copy gets printed

Expected Results:  
2 copies should be printed

I compiled Firefox and Thunderbird from the source. I've tried firefox-3.6 with the same results.

Confirmed, using:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100128 Minefield/3.7a1pre

Probably a regression from bug 193001 -- I bet we don't ever get that value from the Gnome print dialog.

I cannot reproduce it anymore in Linux with Cups. Is it still valid for you?
