Possibly (?)
7.2 uses LPRng and (I think) 7.0 used lpr Lprng has a file
/etc/lpd.conf which controls al the config stuff (not surprisingly)
What follows is a "diff" of the original and what is in place now
(and it works fine
diff /etc/lpd.conf /etc/lpd.conf.orig

You'll see the default is mc=1 whereas I have set the default
multiple copies (mc) to 128 - delete the word 'default' and
keep the line mc=128
Now you should not have to touch your 2 copies / page setup (in
/etc/printcap ?)
