Libreoffice prints N^2 copies - cups-filters

[James Murray]

Whenever I print from Libreoffice I get the square of the number of copies I requested.

I am the sole user, printing single sided to a HP LaserJet P1606DN over ethernet.

I have listed this as 'cups-filters' as the other bug reports below believe that's where this originates.

This is on a recently purchased Dell PC preloaded with Ubuntu 22. (I have been using Ubuntu for many years on different hardware but was on an older LTS release which did not have this problem.)
