Does anybody else have this issue or am I going mad right now?
Setup: #Fedora #Silverblue on #FrameworkLaptop, #HP #Printer "just works" via #Gnome3 printing dialogue.
BUT: whenever I print more than one copy, the printer spits out not ${NumberOfCopies} but instead 2^(${NumberOfCopies})
so if I want 2 copies it prints 4, if I want 3 copies it prints 8, and so on.
Reproducible with at least 2 different HP printer models so I'm guessing it's some bug in either hplip or in Gnome.

Promoting shady VPN companies was already borderline. What's next, crypto scams? Trained MOLEs? Online gambling?

"HP's enshittificatory impulses run wild. They hunt relentlessly for ways to make things worse for their customers in order to make things better for themselves. Last week, they came up with a humdinger, even by their own standards. They announced that people who called their customer service line would be subject to mandatory 15-minute waits, even if there was a rep who was free to talk with them."

In 2010 Phil McKinney led the technical due diligence on Palm and convinced HP's board to acquire the mobile company. Here he tells for the first time the story of how HP fumbled the acquisition and doomed WebOS.
