Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

hi all,

due to the request in this post in Ubuntu Brainstorm: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20396/
i decided to post the bug on this issue..

i believe i can only quote the Rationale as is, written by simbobo:
"Many users, especially less computer-literate ones, have sent a document to the printer, and when it doesn't print, they send it again. I recently opened a print queue to find the same document 6 times. Normally the problem is a simple as the printer being switched off, or a cable being unplugged.

I suggest that if the same document is sent more than once to a printer that there should be a notification of this, and maybe a dialogue confirming that you want to send the document multiple times. "

the solutions are your decision, whether you decide using any..

thanks in advance..
