This should only be a problem if the queue is set to charge money.  Only
then does PPR override the multiple copies setting of the printer driver.
You hare right that this could be fixed with an editps program.  It would
have to recognized the multiple copies code and put an appropriate
"%%Requirement: copies(x)" line in the header.
