Limitation of lpr, max is 100. We will handle this better in 1.3.x, however its a limitation we would need to work around.

Please close this bug-report.

This is a CUPS topic. But not a CUPS bug, actually a CUPS feature.

CUPS defaults to "MaxCopies 100" in cupsd.conf, in order to limit the scope of DoS attacks onto a "public" printer, should it occur.

You can easily set this to "MaxCopies 65535" (which is the current upper limit to set, AFAIK).

In the future, any reporter for a "printing with CUPS" bug should be adviced to first check against these documents (because I found that 80% of "problems" could be solved by just reading these, or even searching for a few keywords in these documents):
