Printing multiple Dymo labels with Cups

I can print a single label using the command lp -o DymoPrintQuality=Text -o PageSize=w54h144 -o landscape -n 1 -d Dymo400Turbo /tmp/test.txt.

When I use the command lp -n 2 -o DymoPrintQuality=Text -o PageSize=w54h144 -o landscape -d Dymo400Turbo /tmp/test.txt it prints one label, not 2.

I have tested lp with the -n option printing to a non Dymo printer and -n is respected.

lpr also only prints one label.

I have tried with Cups 1.4.3 and Cups 2.1.3, I am using dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.5 downloaded from http://www.dymo.com/en-US/dymo-label-sdk-and-cups-drivers-for-linux-dymo-label-sdk-cups-linux-p--1

If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.
