FreeHand 10 prints an unexpected number of copies to Epson Stylus 880 and 660 non-PostScript printers

Issue

After printing to an Epson Stylus printer from FreeHand 10, more than the requested number of copies are printed.

Reason

Initiating the print process on the Epson Stylus Print dialog box with either of these keyboard keys will trigger this unexpected behavior:

tri

Pressing the Enter key on the numeric keypad
This will cause an extraneous character to appear in the copy count text box, which then causes an unexpected number of copies to be printed.

tri

Pressing the keyboard return key (Enter key on Windows)
In this scenario, the copy count text box will become blank, which also causes an unexpected number of copies to be printed.

Solution
Click the Print button on the Epson Stylus Print dialog box with the mouse (only) to initiate the print process.
