What were you trying to do?
Print four copies of my Course 6 M.Eng. thesis proposal.
Specifically, I ran 'lpr -#4 -z -Pajax proposal.ps', and got
no output at the shell prompt.
What's wrong:
Despite requesting four copies via the -# option, I only got
one copy from ajax.
What should have happened:
Ideally, I should have gotten four copies. If the -# option
is disabled on Athena, lpr should print a message of the form
'lpr: -# option disabled, printing one copy'
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
lpr(1)
