That works correctly, but the printer also prints a blank page after
each copy.

That works as expected. I guess I will try to get the CUPS server
maintainers to update their PPDs to more correct ones.


I don't claim to understand very much about CUPS or printing, but it
still seems like a bug to me that using a more generic PPD will result
in duplexing multiple copies together. I would expect that the worst
it should cause is CUPS doing the copies itself, rather than having
the printer do it.
