How to test print multiple copies via UNIX

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Good day!

I would like to seek an advise from you guys, the correct command on how to test print multiple copies via UNIX level.

Is the command below correct? Print 3 copies and the output is test.

echo "test" | lp -d<host printer name> -n3

Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Cheers,

your command should work.

but why test this at Unix level? you should test this at SAP level.

Thanks for your reply Eric.

I want to test print in UNIX level because at SAP level we were not able to print multiple copies. With this process I would be able to know if there's really an issue at UNIX level. Maybe you do have inputs on this?

The temporary solution for now is to change the setting under attribute tab to PASS COPIES AS SEPARATE OUTPUT REQUEST(IN SAP SYSTEM) at SAP level.

Is there an option that we could print mutiple copies using the "Pass Copy Counter to Host Spool System" attribute?

Thanks!
