Title:
  Printing multiple copies submits multiple separate jobs (should submit
  one job)

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In the print dialog, if "Number of Copies" is set to 50 then 50
  separate, independent print jobs are spooled.  It should submit a
  single print job, specifying 50 copies.   This will allow the printer
  to do the replication if it can (all Postscript printers can).

  This is important because:
   
    1) Submitting a separate jobs for each copy causes the page(s) to be rendered again and again,
        with a drastic reduction in through-put.   

       This is CRUCIAL if the pages contain complex graphics or images which take a long time to render
       or transmit to the printer:   A one-minute delay for the first of 50 copies is okay, but 1 minute for 
       *each* of 50 copies is intolerable.

    2) If the print job was a mistake, it is virtually impossible to stop the printer.  Pressing the cancel
        button on the printer cancels just one copy, but after a little while the next one starts printing...

    3) It is very inconvenient to cancel the job in CUPS, with 50 separate jobs, without affecting other
        unrelated jobs in the queue (you can cancel all jobs in the queue at once, or one at a time).

  Note that CUPS has always supported a "number of copies" option at the command-line level.
  For example
     lpr '-#50'  file.pdf
  prints 50 copies of the file, rendering it once only.
