I have one suppressor in process.  Will the ATF  require a second set of prints and photos or are the ones submitted a month before ok?  Will the ATF put it all together themselves?

You need to send prints and photos with every form 4 submission.

For a trust, I thought they were good for two years?  

I see I didn't mention trust in the OP.

The trust itself is supposedly on file for 2 years but we send a copy every time.  Prints and photos must be sent every time. 

General 41F Questions and Answers

Q. Will fingerprint cards and photographs be needed for each person(s) identified as a “Responsible Person?”
A. Yes. All individuals identified as “Responsible Persons” are required to submit fingerprint cards andphotographs. In addition, each “Responsible Person” is required to complete the Form 5320.23, National Firearms Act (NFA) Responsible Person Questionnaire. (See instruction 2 d. (5) on the Forms 1, 4, and 5.) Fingerprint cards and the Form 5320.23 with photograph attached must be provided upon everyapplication submission. 

Q. If an application was approved within the preceding 24 months, are fingerprint cards and photographs required to be submitted with a new application?
A. Yes. The 24-month exemption for providing supporting “documentation” refers only to the documentation proving the existence of an entity, such as trusts or corporate paperwork. The Form 5320.23 with attached photograph and fingerprint cards are required for each person identified as a responsible person for each submission in order to initiate the required background check. See instruction 2 d. (4) and (5) on the Forms 1, 4, and 5. 

Q. Are fingerprint cards and photographs for each responsible person required for every NFA application submission?
A. Yes. Fingerprint cards and Form 5320.23 with photograph attached are required for all responsible persons associated with the trust or other legal entity for each application submitted.

that was spouted off (and repeated) by many people when 41F was released...but it was an incorrect interpretation. The "supporting documentation" referenced with the 24-month window is the trust/corp docs only, as seen in the Q&A above.

You will need another set of prints if you are filing individually.  I have heard that in the past if you were submitting two Form 4's  in the same envelope for example you could get by
with one set of prints but I don't think that is the case now.  One Form = One set of prints  for individuals and I don't think that they ever accepted some prints sent in a
month before for a from being submitted a month later.  
I have often wish they would have something like a "frequent flyer" type program.  I have been collecting NFA items for over 30 years and must have
50 or more sets of prints on file somewhere.

Trusts are different so if you are filing as a Trust I don't think that is the case.  Prints are good for a year  at least maybe two.  Not up on the rules for trusts.

The ATF said they wanted a set of prints for each F1/F4, which is indeed different from the way they did it in the past (when they accepted one set for multiple forms in terms same envelope). My guess is they'd actually take a single set, but I don't recall anybody with a post-41F submission reporting being approved, disapproved, or an error letter sent for a single set of prints. Hopefully we know soon.

You really shouldn't answer questions when it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. Just say you don't know and let that be the end of it.

Prints are good for the submission(s) they're attached to, and not for another day, week, month or year. That's been clarified a couple times in this thread, so you apparently didn't read through it either.
