XPP does not modify the data stream which goes to the printer, it only send the option settings chosen in th GUI to CUPS together with the job. So
lpr -P <printer> -o number-up=4 <file> is asolutely equivalent to xpp <file> when choosing the printer <printer> in XPP and then clicking "Options" and choosing 4 pages per sheet. So try lpr -P <printer> -o number-up=4 <file> at first to make sure that it is not an XPP problem. ** Changed in: xpp (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- cupsys in combination with xpp https://launchpad.net/bugs/49063 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
