It happens with the two printers I can test it with: a Kyocera MFP,
and a Konica bizhub C451.  The latter is interesting: if I try to print two
copies of a multi-page document and select saddle stitch as the
finishing option, I get two booklets, each with two copies of the
document.

Is there any way to capture what is sent to CUPS?
