A long-standing and very annoying problem here.

With the default .ppd file for my Brother printer, the number of copies 
is ignored (whether from the print dialogue or using 'lpr -#'. The fix 
is out there on the net - change "true" to "True" (could you make it 
up?) in the "cupsManualCopies" entry in the ppd.

The only snag is that a new ppd arrives from out of the ether whenever 
cups restarts (eg boot time): any change only stays on manually 
installed printers.

Is there a fix for this? I can't find where the ppd's are loaded from - 
can anyone help please?
