Description Paolo Benvenuto 2012-03-23 10:05:32 UTC 
I want to print many copies with evince, but it only permits me a maximum of 100 copies.

I think it should give a way to raise that value.
Comment 1 Carlos Garcia Campos 2012-08-14 15:37:55 UTC 
You are right, for some reason the copies spin button has a limit of 100 copies. Reassigning to GTK+
Comment 2 dbet1 2014-05-20 18:03:11 UTC 
Yesterday a customer from me has showed me this limitation. This bug is two years old. Can someone fix it?
Comment 3 dbet1 2014-06-24 18:18:58 UTC 
The man page of the CUPS command lp says that the number of copies could be between 1 an 100. But this is not true. I can give the parameter -n 140. Then I can see in the file that is sent to the printer that there are 140 pages in it. Therefore the limitation to 100 is gone.

Please change this in the GTK+ print dialog. Thank you.

I agree that the maximum of 999 is much more better than 100. In LibreOffice I can make up to 9999 copies and since CUPS 1.6 there is the parameter *cupsMaxCopies which defaults to 9999 in PPD-Files.

I don't know the true limit on CUPS with the number of copies, but I think that the CUPS limit should be exhausted and not limited again within the print dialog.

I hope you understand me. Thank you.
