I can't print many copies!!!

Hi,
I am having an issue with printing under Leopard. This may need to be under Apple's Pages Discussion, but I don't know.
Here's my problem. I cannot print more than 12 copies of my 24MB pages document at a time. I print anywhere from 100 - 400 copies at any one sitting, and so I end up having to send multiples of 10 to 12 copies every time, just to make it work. My printer company is not will to give me anymore support because they can't figure it out and, "It's a mac problem, ask Apple", and to be honest our PC running the fiery Postscript drivers has no issues at all.
I have changed my cups error log to debug, so I have a lot of stuff available to post if needed.
I am using an imagistics cm3520, which uses the fiery X3e 22c-km PS Color Server v2.0 driver. I have downloaded and installed their latest driver, as well as tried Leopard's (It's exactly the same), but neither can get it done.
The copier has 128MB of RAM and 8GB of HDD space, so I don't think it is a storage problem. I mean, I think it should send one job and do copies of it, not send hundreds of documents right?
I think it's a driver issue, plain and simple. What do you think. I can post excerpts of the logs (I have two. one that worked for a single copy, and one that didn't for 50 copies). The originals are extremely large, but the mass is communication to and from the computer and copier. I didn't see anything being lost in the mass of information, just at the ends when the failure occurs.
I know this doesn't give a lot of information, but ask me questions and I'll try my best to answer them.
thanks for any help you can give.

Hello Josh,
We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

    How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

    Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

    no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
    select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

  • Can I print multiple copies of the same picture on iphoto 9.5

    I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade. Can anyone see how to do this now?

    It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
    After printing, trash the added versions.

  • How can I print multiple copies of a label based on a field?

    Post Author: lgayosso
    CA Forum: General
    Hello all,
    I have a report that prints labels where each label is a contained in detail line. I have a field on such label (Number Of Copies), on the same detail line, that specifies the number of copies to generate of such label, how can I generate such multiple copies of the label?
    I have tried adding multiple detail lines (all identical so that they reproduce the label) but I do not know in advance how many copies will be needed; that is, some detail lines include a Number Of Copies = 3, therefore I would need details A, B, and C sections to print the three copies but other labels might have a value of Number Of Copies = 10 therefore I would need detail sections A, B, through J to generate the 10 labels.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Any help is appreciated,

  • Can't print multiple copies of saddle stitched booklet

    We purchased a Canon Image Runner Advanced C5235 copier/printer last March, with a booklet maker. When printing from InDesign CS6, I can print one booklet, folded and stapled. However, as soon as I select more than one copy, it won't fold and staple the pages. I'm using a Mac with OS-X 10.9.5. I've had lengthy discussions with Canon tech support and had a technician in to look at it, and we've determined that the issue is exclusive to InDesign. I can print multiple booklets from Word and Adobe Pro, and by copying letter-sized pages on the Canon rather than printing from the computer. Has anyone else experienced this? Why would I be able to print one booklet, but not two or more? I know the work around could be to export from INDD to PDF, but when I do that, it automatically shrinks the content and centres it on each page of the booklet, resulting in tiny font and a lot of wasted space on the perimeter of each page, which is not acceptable for my finished product.

    There is a Page Scaling setting in both Acrobat and Reader that many people overlook that could be why your pages are shrinking.
    If it has defaulted to Fit to Printable Area, try setting it to None. You may still only get one booklet at a time, but there are a few things about printing directly from InDesign that people find doesn't work as well as it should. Exporting to PDF is one of the things that usually gets you out of problems.

  • How to print 4 copies of smart from in a single print

    Dear All,
      i have one smartform. i have attached my smart form to an output type. if  i am printing through that output type, it has to print 4 copies of smartform. Hoe to do this?
    i have 6 windows in my smart from in different different place. i have used main window for my table data inthe middle of the smart from.
    How can i print  4 copies of smart from in a single print ?
    Thanks In advance.

    Hi Vishnu,
    I hope you have used a print program which will be triggered from the output type.   In your print program where you are calling your smartform, just include that piece of code inside DO 4 times.
                                                                                    ........... Write the code here to call your smartform.
                                                                                    ENDDO.
    I hope by doing this you will be able to achieve your requirement.

  • Problem with 4250dtn printing multiple copies Windows 7 64 bit

    We can't print multiple copies from within some, but not all, applications to a Laserjet 4250dtn from Windows 7 64-bit workstaitons.  Windows 7 32-bit ones work fine.  The printer is served from a Server 2003 printer queue, but even when we print direclty to the port we only get one copy. Setting copy count from the printer dialog works fine, but we need to have the applications invoke multiple copies. We are using the UPD 64-bit driver;  could not find a legacy driver for this printer for Win 7 64 bit. I've tried various tricks found elsewhere on this forum, including turning off mopier mode, printing directly to the printer, disabling advanced features, etc. to no avail. Help, anyone! Thanks. Jerry TurnbowUSBO

    Thanks very much for the feedback. I was getting worried!
    The command window opens when I double-click on the Developer Day VM and I get a few lines that scroll off the window about loading Linux .... These lines never come back and I can't scroll in the command window.
    As soon as the above messages come into the command window the whole process stops. The window stays open but I get no response from it. I get no login prompt or anything.
    Do you think it could be a VirtualBox setup issue? I downloaded and installed the product along with the extension pack with no apparent problems and when I start VirtualBox I see the Developer Day VM listed in the left panel. All I do at that point is double-click it like the download web site said but I don't get the same results, i.e. no chance to login. It seems all I can do at that point is close the window by clicking the 'X' and it asks me 3 things about what to do with the VM and I usually say to shut it down. None of the other options look any better either.
    Any other suggestions are most welcome!!
    Thanks again!

  • Printing multiple copies per page, not multiple pages per sheet

    How can I print multiple copies of page per sheet of paper?
    I've got an image or PDF that I'd like to print 4 or more of per sheet of paper. But it can easily fit on one sheet. When I choose to print 4 copies and in the Layout section choose 4 copies per page what I get is for pages printed out with the image scaled down to a quarter of a page.
    What I'd like is the one image scaled down and printed 4 times on a single piece of paper.

    I don't completely believe that this is completely
    due to the drivers from the printer manufacturer.
    Nor did I say that it is. The software from which the doc is being printed is
    even more important re page layout options.
    Your statement of "It is a function of the printer driver..." is what led to that misunderstanding.
    I completely agree that the idea of 'print to PDF' is misleading and that I was mislead that all the print dialog options (like the quartz filters that do work in outputting to PDF and the # of copies that do not) should apply to creating PDF files using the print dialogue. It now says 'save to PDF' in 10.4 instead of 'output' or 'print'. I think some of my confusion is carrying over from UI decisions in 10.3.
    Obviously it wasn't designed to work this exact way
    or it would work this exact way.
    I have no idea what this statement means.
    It's stating the obvious in reply to your statement of the obvious ("the feature you are trying to use isn't designed to work that way."). If it were designed to work in the manner that I was wanting it perform I would have never posted a question about it.
    You can say it's not commonly done and that would
    apply to anything other than printing off one full
    sized copy of any single page. Using Quartz filters
    isn't "commonly done" but it's available.
    Not true... mailing labels, multipage spreads, thumbnails, reductions/
    enlargements, ad infinitum are far more frequently done than printing
    the same content on the same sheet multiple times. As I said, however,
    there are provisions for doing so when the need arises.
    You missed the point. Functionality is presented that is far less utilized than what I was desiring to do on this platform/set of applications as compared to other platforms/sets of applications. This is why I specifically mentioned the quartz filtering. I have personally met only one other person who uses quartz filtering yet I know over a dozen that want to print in the manner I originally posted about.
    I'm sure you have seen such results & I have done
    the exact same type of output hundreds of times on
    both Windows & Mac platforms as well as others...
    but not in the manner you are attempting to get it
    done. As you've found out, that just doesn't work.
    And I've seen it performed in the manner I was attempting, furthering the frustration.
    In any program you typically do specify page layout
    before number of copies... in fact, that is the cruxt of the
    issue. But getting the same content to repeat on a single
    page is not a matter of page layout and is not a function
    of the print operation unless you're dealing with commercial
    devices.
    I guess I've just been spoiled by those big office Xerox machines. I never thought of that functionality being at all special in any way.
    Thank you for the assistance.

  • Cp1215 doesn't print multiple copies

    After a Windows update on my Window 7 64-bit Home Premium desktop, I am unable to print more than one copy of any document at a time from any software or web app using my cp1215.  I use the printer to print for my classroom (eg 20+ copies of one doc at a time), so I really need this.
    The problem began in March, and will resolve if I roll back the Windows update. There are about 50 individual update items, so I have no clue how to isolate this. I have tried uninstalling the printer before using Windows update and doing a complete reinstall with the latest drivers (4/13) with no luck.
    Any idea how to solve this? I don't want to go too long without keeping up with Windows security updates. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, I updated in groups of five to see if I could isolate which updates might have messed up the printer. It appears be two of the "Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for X64." (KB2600217, KB2656351)
    So, the bulk of the Windows Updates are completed and I can still print multiple copies. At this point, though, neither of the updates above will install (they say they install, but they appear again in the update list after a reboot), so I can't be sure. I'm pretty sure they installed each time I did a bulk install.
    Right now, I can print multiple copies and I am only missing two updates. Just to be complete, I ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor, and it reports that everything is fine with the printer.  

  • Why can't I print multiple copies?

    Newest MacBook Pro 13"  OS 10.6.6
    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2
    Printer Canon ip4800 series and i860
    Any idea why I cannot print more than one copy at a time?  The print dialog window accepts the entry for multiple copies, but only one gets printed at a time, no matter how many copies I request (the printer status shows 1 copy also).
    This has been going on for some time (I usually end up printing the sheets in Preview), but it is driving me nuts.  The printer has been replaced (for other reasons) and Acrobat updated repeatedly, but the problem persists.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    How does that manifest itself:
    you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?

  • How many copies of 10.2.8 can I have on one HDD? To partition or not to ...

    Hi,
    I hope that this makes sense to those who read it. If, it doesn't then, please - someone say so. In case some of you recognize my monicker it has been a good while since I visited and asked for help.
    Kappy, I didn't understand everything - had some health issues thus, I couldn't followup?
    I have finally installed my Seagate internal, thus my return visit.
    I have just installed a Seagate Barracuda 7200, 120 GB HDD. I've made it my master drive. I've partitioned it into four parts. 1) for OS 10.2, 2) for 10.3, 3) for 10.4 and 4) for OS 9. I have not yet put it to use. I made my original Deskstar 40GB the slave, it has three partitions. 1) for 10.2, 2) for OS 9 and legacy 3rd party apps and 3) for photos and videos. I also have an Maxtor One-Touch II External 300 GB FW for backup. Long story - it has 4 partitions, 1) 10.2, 2) 10.3 and .4, 3) for video and photo storage and 4) for OS 9.
    I have several questions.
    1) How many copies of OS 10.2.8 can I have on any one drive - is my Seagate and my Deskstar now considered to be one drive?
    1b) Can I have OS 10.2.8 (on both? of them)?
    1c) Can I have 10.2.8 on that/both of those drives without causing conflicts or any other problems?
    2) I've been reading through the discussions to see if I could find an answer to any of these questions. What I did find was several different topics that include references about not partitioning new drives.
    2a) What are the advantages to partitioning and what are the potential problems/disadvantages created by partitioning a new HDD?
    2b) Isn't it necessary to partition a HDD if I'm going to have 10.2, 10.3(maybe), 10.4 and OS 9 all on the same HDD?
    2c) Aren't there going to be conflicts especially because of OS 9 and 10.4 being on the same partition?
    I will appreciate all replies, corrections, suggestions and requests for clarifications and/or request for additional info.
    Thanks,

    1c) Can I have 10.2.8 on that/both of those drives without causing conflicts or any other problems?
    You cannot have more than one copy of OS X on a single volume (partition), but you can install any number of versions of OS X on separate volumes (partitions.)
    2) I've been reading through the discussions to see if I could find an answer to any of these questions. What I did find was several different topics that include references about not partitioning new drives.
    2a) What are the advantages to partitioning and what are the potential problems/disadvantages created by partitioning a new HDD?
    There are no inherent advantages to partitioning in general except that it may provide a convenient means for organization. However, if you desire to install multiple operating systems, partitioning is necessary to keep each OS separate and to enable you to use OPTION booting. The exception to this is installing OS X and OS 9 on the same volume.
    2b) Isn't it necessary to partition a HDD if I'm going to have 10.2, 10.3(maybe), 10.4 and OS 9 all on the same HDD?
    Yes. See previous answers.
    2c) Aren't there going to be conflicts especially because of OS 9 and 10.4 being on the same partition?
    No. And there would be no problems having OS 9 and 10.4 on the same volume. If they are on the same volume you simple cannot use OPTION booting to switch between them.
