OIPI and COPIES statement (OpenInsight 16-Bit Specific)

Tried printing using the COPIES statement in OIPI, with copies set to 2.
First page only printed one copy.
We have had a user report all pages with a 1 at the end only print one page, eg pages 11, 21, 31 etc.
Possibly a bug in OIPI or perhaps the printer (or combination).

I recollect having had similar problem some time ago making OIPI COPIES work.
I recollect I used the alternative of setting it in INIT, which works fine.
I'll check and if not I'll post a correction.

Yep, Richard is correct. You should use the INIT message – parameter 3, field 8. I think the 16-bit version of the OIPI may still have the older COPIES message, but there are problems with it, because the OIPI needs to actually set the number of copies before it starts the printing job (which is why it must be passed in during the INIT). Also check the return value of the INIT, because not all printer drivers support this feature (-17 error code).
