*** Bug 9581 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 144485 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In my tests, it does work. It works by setting the number of copies in Postscript's setpagedevice, so stuff like evince won't show the multiple copies, but my printer makes them. The copies are NOT collated, so I get N copies of the first page, then N copies of the second page, and so on. Right now I don't know how to get collation to work. If this is still a problem, please attach the "print to file" output of a) Firefox trying to print 2 copies, and b) some other app printing two copies. Thanks! setpagedevice most probably doesn't work for non-postscript printers. OK, I've checked this while fixing another issue. I expect that this feature doesn't work for non-postscript printers (and also not for some postscript printers) in Firefox 1.0.x. With Firefox 1.5 it should work in the following cases: - if you use a postscript printer (the same condition as above) - if you use a CUPS printer (since CUPS support is much better now) For Firefox 1.0 I have to say "wontfix".
