    Hi Matthias,

     

    These are two known issues with AR 9.1.2.

    As a workaround you can use the Custom printing route to achieve the two functionalities:

    Choose Custom in the Printer Name dropdown and edit the command line field with the following commands in different scenarios.

    I have specified commands for both lp and lpr. You can use either of the two.

     

     

     

     

    1)  copies > 1 are without effect

     

    To achieve Copies, use the following command in the Custom printing.

     

    • Copies & No Collate

    lp -d <Printer Name> -n 2

    OR    

    lpr -P <Printer Name> -# 2

     

    • Copies & Collate

    lp -d <Printer Name> -n 2 -o Collate=true

    OR

    lpr -P <Printer Name> -# 2 -o Collate=true

    2) Page Scaling as booklet printing prints only simplex

    To achieve Duplex in different scenarios of Booklet, use the following command in the Custom printing.

    • Binding : [Left & Right]

    lp -d <Printer Name> -o Duplex=DuplexTumble -o Duplex=DuplexTumble

    OR

    lpr -P <Printer Name> -o Duplex=DuplexTumble -o Duplex=DuplexTumble

    • Binding : [Left(tall) & Right(tall)]

    lp -d <Printer Name> -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble

    OR

    lpr -P <Printer Name> -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble

    Make sure to substitute <Printer Name> in the command line with the actual printer name you want to print to.

     

    For example if the printer name is HPLJ8150:

    lpr –P HPLJ8150 -# 2

     

     

    Regards,

    Rishi
