Package: cups-bsd
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: normal

I think I have a standard CUPS installation.  When I try to print
from the command line using lp or lpr, I get the error
   lp: Bad copies value 0.
Same for lpr.  Consequently printing fails from lp oriented apps such
as xpdf.

They will print successfully if the number of copies is specified 
(lp -n or lpr -#).  I've never had to set that explicitly in any
previous installation.  Has something changed, or is something
misconfigured?

Expected behaviour is that "lp file" or "lpr file" will send a print
job to print 1 copy of the file.

You are correct in your expectations and this is indeed what always
happens when I use lp. The only way I can conceive of your getting
the behaviour you describe is by having

   Option copies 0

in /etc/cups/printers.conf. A default install doesn't have such an
option but it can be done when a print queue is established. This
does not look like a bug; hence closing.

Regards,

Brian.
