I have a Xerox Phaser 3250 printer
It worked perfectly under Centos 6 when I told cups that it was a Xerox Phaser 3150.
It works under Centos 7, too. I can print pdf files from evince and whatnot with no problems, and printing one, two or three copies of a document from libreoffice works as well.
However, if I tell libreoffice to print four copies of a document ("number of copies" =4) then I get garbage printed on the printer; many many pages containing one or two lines of garbage characters.
If I run the spadmin program and tell it to print a test page, it prints fine. Two test pages, fine. Three, also fine. Four test pages, and I get page after page after page of garbage again.
What could the problem be?
Try to use generic postscript driver (if the driver for your model of printer is not available).

That's postscript garbage. You're lucky if you don't get 100 or 200 pages of garbage. So, yeah, it's a postscript issue. <snip>

Yes. Or try other Phasers - hopefully, you won't mind the smell of hot wax.... <g> while finding one that works.
