SUMMARY Prints the square of quantity requested. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Bring up a document 2. File > Print 3. Ask for more than just one copy OBSERVED RESULT: When printing a document, if I ask for quantity of 2, I get 4 sheets. If ask for 3, get 9 sheets.... etc, etc If ask for 20, get 400 sheets printed per page!! EXPECTED RESULT: Want exact quantity of print-outs requested. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.12.9 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0 Qt Version: 5.9.5 (build against 5.9.5) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The xcb windowing system Kubuntu 18.04 kernel version: 5.3.0-61-generic OS Type: 64-bit Hardware: Processors: 12 x Intel Core i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20 GHz Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM Note: issue isolated to Okular by testing in LibreOffice Writer, which prints exactly the quantity requested. No other application, whether an email or a web page results in this behavior either.
Sounds pretty familar to me, but there the problem was apparently proprietary software from the printer manufacturer.
What happens if you print from command line instead of using Okular? Please try what happens in these two cases: 1) Printing the original document, command (put actual printer name and name of document accordingly): lp -d <YOURPRINTERNAME> <YOURDOCUMENT> 2) Printing the PostScript file that was generated by Okular. That one should be in /var/spool/cups/d<NUMBER_OF_PRINT_JOB>-001 Please ask if more details are needed.
