Multiple copies not being separated when printing

When I print multiple copies, dual sided printing, of a document (with odd number of pages) the 1st page of the subsequent copy is printed on the back of the last page of the previous copy. The copies are not separated. It looks like the multiple copies are treated as a single document with lots of pages.

The problem is not unique to LibreOffice (Writer), but I figure I’ll post a question here to see if anyone else is experiencing same issue.

I’m running LinuxMint MATE 17 64-bit.

It might be a setting in your printer. Have you already looked at its manual?

Using LibreOffice you can force to start a new job. In the printing dialog on the tab “Options” check the option “Create single print jobs for collated output”.
