A 'man lpr' lists -K<num> or -#<num> as the option flag to set for
multiple copies. So, to print two copies of the file
/reports/stuff.txt :
lpr -K2 /reports/stuff.txt or lpr -#2 /reports/stuff.txt
Also, on my RH 7.0 system, the default setting for 'maximum copies'
(see /etc/lpd.conf) was set to one. I had to add:
:mc=10\
to my /etc/printcap file to up the maximum to 10 copies. I believe
'mc=@' means 'no maximum'. Someone on the list can correct me if I'm
wrong....
Remember to restart lpd if you make changes in /etc/printcap:
service lpd restart
