Looks like this is a cups bug.  I'll reassign it.

The data sent to cups from evince appears to be correct.  But
cupsfilter duplicates the PDF pages, AND tells the printer to make n
copies.

I don't have a finishing or saddle stitch option for my printer which
may be part of why I can't reproduce it.

There's information here explaining how to debug CUPS:
https://wiki.debian.org/DissectingandDebuggingtheCUPSPrintingSystem

The file sent to CUPS should appear under /var/spool/cups.

It happens with the two printers I can test it with: a Kyocera MFP,
and a Konica bizhub C451.  The latter is interesting: if I try to print two
copies of a multi-page document and select saddle stitch as the
finishing option, I get two booklets, each with two copies of the
document.

Is there any way to capture what is sent to CUPS?

I'm not able to reproduce this.  Is this only a problem with specific
documents?  Or certain printer options?

Bug#886892: evince: Prints n^2 copies if multiple copies selected

Package: evince
Version: 3.26.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On some PDF or PS documents, attempting to print more than 10 copies
results in n*n copies being printed instead.  The printer is a Kyocera
network-connected printer; cups says it's driverless.

I suspect that Evince is rewriting the printable file to say print n
times, and also asking CUPS to print n times.
