Subject: Print copies problem
When attempt to remote print several copies of a document with the command 'lp -n2 -d printer file', leaves printed one copies. as it can be the problem? as I can see if SCO is really sending a copy or two to the printer?

OK, but the answer is still the same:
Printing is all controlled by interface scripts, which you can read all about at http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/printing.html
Examine your script and see why it is not printing. It's probably not even looking at $4 (copies). Or you are trying to send that to some remote lpd printer that doesn't understand or care.

I feel it, but I cannot find script to modify.
In order to register the printer I make the following:
scoadmin printer manager
Printer --> Add remote --> UNIX
Deselect the Extended remote printing protocol
See http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=112842&qid=1849847991&sid=1350611185&pgnum=1
After I verify if script has creates some in /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces or /var/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces and does not exist any file with the name of the printer.
Files:
$ cat /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/PRT9400_0/configuration
Banner:
Device: PRT9400_0@imp94006
Interface:
Printer type:
Remote: PRT9400_0@imp94006
$ cat /etc/printcap
PRT9400_0:\
:lp=imp94006:ex:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/PRT9400_0:mx#0:of=/usr/bin/lp_addcrff:

You are printing to a remote printer. As already noted, that's where the problem is: either your end isn't passing the args or the other end doesn't care.
One way to handle that is to "front-end" with a virtual printer that sends the job to the real printer as many times as requested in $4. There are examples of virtual printers at http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec7virtualprint.html and a search here for "virtual printer" will turn up other examples.

Solved problem.
I have created a local printer (model:network and device:/dev/null) and later I have associated it in the file /usr/spool/lp/remote with the remote printer.
The remote printer has a filter that adds CR-LF and FF, as well as the escape sequences that need to us.
Thank you very much by the aid
