Printing from OPENVPMS - number of copies doesnt do anything

Under OpenVPMS 2.4-beta selecting the number of copies doesnt seem to do much

It doesnt print multiple copies just 1.
 

The system is setup using a docker instance running under Ubuntu 18.

 

The docker instance of tomcat acts a client to the System which has a CUPS print server running that manages printing

We have confirmed that printing from the commandline using

 

LP -n 2 <doc>

Works in both the host and the docker instance and produces 2 copies.

At this stage with think the javax print implementation may be flawed.

JAVA version is Temurin 11.0.17 

cups-client                          2.3.1-9ubuntu1.2         

 

Cups does report some issues with printing copies and has a recommendations to add

*cupsManualCopies True to the printers ppd file - this should force cups to send multiple print jobs v 1 with multiple copies

We did try this but give we could already print multiple copies it seemed a flawed work around
