[Samba] can't print more copys than one

[Phil]

Yeah -- it works !

At least it was a driver problem!

I tested a few other drivers -- originally I took the ones from the HP homepage .. now I took
the maybe older drivers from the original CDROM and they work well !!

So now .. I'm happy *g*

thx for advance! Phil
