 I think our filter did nothing about multiple copies.

 I check the control file, it just create as n lines as you specify -#n:
 
 fdfA339server
 fdfA339server
 
 You mean this?

 I have a dirty solution (modify the lpr.c):
 
 fdfA339server
 UdfA339server
 Nhosts
 fdfA339server
 UdfA339server
 Nhosts
 
 But it only works when you print by lpr on server.
 If I print by exact the same lpr on client (rm=server),
 it will failed sending jobs to server.
