My apologies - I did check the lpr man page - and I've done so again -
but in this case it looks like Intrepid is different than Hardy (and
Lenny, and Darwin) so I gather now it's -n # of copies not just -#

I'm mildly shocked they'd change that mind you....  I wonder if that's
why some things are having issues.

And I'm not too surprised it worked on the HP - you still have collate
set as a default option don't you.
