LPR nor printing multiple copies

Well, I tried to figure it out myself - but I'm stymied. I can print
multiple copies through lpr to my laser printers, but not my C.Itoh 5000
line printer attached via a Pony XCD print server.

The command I use is "lpr -Padfa2 -#2 test.lis" and only 1 copy comes out.

Here's my /etc/printcap (a3058 is the DNS name of the print server):
adfa2|lp45|45|:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=a3058:\
        :rp=TEXT_P1:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lpd45:

sytem:
ES40
Tru64 v5.1a
