I have a print driver (kernel-mode at the moment) with a CPSUI-based
interface. Whenever we try to print a job through MS Word (I've tried version
2000 and 2003 so far) with multiple copies enabled, there a number of calls
to the UI's DrvDocumentPropertySheets. The first call has an input DEVMODE
with dmCopies set to the correct number. Every subsequent call has dmCopies
set to 1. Is there any way to figure out which one is correct?

We return 99 from DrvDeviceCapabilities for DC_COPIES, if that makes a
difference.

We have seen code that return MAX_COPIES or 1 in DrvDeviceCapabilities for
DC_COPIES.
When you return MAX_COPIES it means that the application will not try to
multi-copy
themselves. Have you checked with WordPad and see what it returns for
dmCopies? Many a times
WORD will follow its own logic.

WordPad prints two, Word prints 1. I don't know what Word is doing but I'm
not sure I'd call it logic.
