Issue with printing multiple copies.

This is kind of difficult to explain. If I print, for instance, a 1 page document and enter in 500 copies, Acrobat will process page 1 500 times, and I will recieve a print job that is 500 pages long at my print server.
How do I fix it so that it would only print page 1 one time with an attribute to print it 500 times?
I have this issue with three different printers, and Acrobat seems to be the only program with this issue. Other Adobe programs, notably InDesign, and all MS Office programs work correctly. The issue only seems to happen with Acrobat.
I'm using Acrobat Professional 8.2.2
Thanks for any help.

Hello Terry. We had the same problems with our Canon printers that use the Fiery print controller. After blaming Adobe for the problem EFI, the makers of the Fiery, released a patch and updated driver that resolved this orientation problem. So I suggest you contact your Xerox support to see if they have these same fixes for your model of Fiery. Or you could check the EFI web site for any updates.

HOW DO I PRINT MULTIPLE COPIES OF ONE PHOTO ON A SINGLE PAGE?

Since Apple has not made this feature available, I am not able to print multiple copies of a single photo on one page. HELP suggested I download Portraits and Prints which I could use for free. However, I have downloaded this and note that DEMO watermark will appear on all photos unless I purchase the program. Is there a way to print without the DEMO watermark using this program or is there another free program that will allow me to print multiple copies of a single photo on a single page? Please help as I have spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple and it has gotten me no closer to a solution - something I could easily have done on the older versions of I Photo. Thanks!

Sadly, I have no pull down menu when I click on Customize or settings? I am using IPhoto 08 vers. 7.0.1. I was told by Apple HELP that this feature is not yet available, even though the instructions say to do exactly what you have said. But there is no pull down menu and no option to print multiple photos. It says print a single photo and it is clicked and I cannot unclick it. Any help would be appreciated. Do you actually have a pull down menu with Print Multiple Copies of One Photo as an option? What version of IPhoto provides this? Apple seems to think it is not available and it certainly isn't available on my system. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Laserjet 5000 with windows 7 driver cannot print multiple copies unless disabling mopier

Customer has Laserjet 5000 that they have been using for approx 5 years. It is connected to one computer with the standard parallel cable and the driver is using lpt1. It is used mainly to print word documents and a multi page publisher document. The computer used to be a windows xp computer and all worked well with the PCL6 driver and that is the only driver that was used
They just bought a new Windows 7 32 bit computer and now it has lost some of the functionality.
The first driver that was loaded was the driver that Windows 7 used after you use the windows update button that you get during the add printer wizard. I think it was the pcl 5 driver as that is the driver that the computer will install if you remove the printer and then restart the computer. Using this driver, when you choose to print more than one page or multiple copies, it will just print the first page or copy and there will not be any errors displayed.
I have since downloaded the PCL6 driver, PS driver and PCL5 driver from HP's website and tried all of them.
The PS driver will print more than one page, but when it gets to about the 4th page the printer prints out an error page. The error is PCL XL error, Subsystem: Kernel, Error: Unsupported protocol, Operator 0x0, Position:0
The PCl 6 driver will print the same error page and not print any print jobs, even if it is just a single page, single copy job.
The pcl 5 driver prints one page and then stops printing, no errors.
When I disable the mopier under device settings, the pcl5 driver will print everything just fine. Only problem is, it will not collate. The collate checkbox is available and checked when we try the multiple page multiple copy publisher document, but it just prints out as if we do not have collate checked. If we could get collation to work, than we are good to go.
I have not tried the PS driver with the mopier disabled.
The PCL6 driver stills returns the pcl xl error with the mopier disabled.
The printer does not have any extra memory, just the 4 mb standard that came with the printer. I am wondering if this is a memory issue triggered by Windows 7and I just need to get more memory for the printer. (Computer has 4 gb of memory)
Anybody else have a similar issue and got theirs fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi jnickelsen,
I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
What drivers are you using?
Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

Hope this helps.

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!

Unable to print multiple copies of documents on Win7 machine with Office 2010

Since upgrading to Windows 7, I have been unable to print multiple copies of documents in any MS Office 2007, 2010, Word Pad or Adobe Reader 9. I also experience the same problem if I print from Word Pad. The issue appears to be associated with the Collate Option in the Print Dialog box. If the Collate box is checked, I only get one copy of the document. If I uncheck the Collate box I get as many copies as I choose. The problem is that with the Collate box unchecked, I have to collate multiple copies by hand, and with 10 – 20 copies of multi-page documents that can be quite a chore.
The ironic thing is that MS Visio 2003, on the same machine, prints and collates as many copies as I choose, with the Collate box checked.
I can print multiple copies of Word 2003 documents from my wife’s Win XP machine to the same printer, but not from my Win 7 machine with Office 2010.
My printer is an HP LaserJet 1320nw and I have downloaded and installed the latest printer drivers from the HP Web site.
Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, are you aware of a solution other than unchecking the Collate box?

I have the same issues with my LJ1320. I have Office 2010 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. However, my printing problem is more widespread since I have been unsuccessful at printing multiple copies of all types of documents, not just from Office 2010. For example, I have the same problem trying to print multiple copies from Internet Explorer.
I also have other problems printing from Office 2010 that you may not have discovered yet. I cannot print Excel spreadsheet grid lines from Office 2010 if those documents were originally created in an earlier version of Office. I tried saving them as Office 2010 documents and also using compatibility mode but nothing worked. These same documents print fine on the same printer from my laptop which uses Windows Vista and Office 2007. Also Excel spreadsheets originated in Office 2010 print nicely.
Looks like HP has a few bugs in their printer drivers.
I note that HP released a new Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5x64 on Feb 18, 2011 (Version 5.2.6). Have you tried it yet?

Printer issue - could not print multiple copies

Hello Gurus,
Good day!
We not able to print multiple copies (2 or more) in SAP level but we were able to print multiples copies using non SAP applications (i.e word, excel).
I already checked in UNIX level and I dont see any stuck spools.
Can you please help me on how can I resolve this issue.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi,
In order to get multiple copies of prints from SAP you need to make following configuration.
go to SPAD
select the printer, from which you need to get multiple copies of prints.
Double click on it,
Now you will see the details of the printer with tabs like
Device Attributes , Access method , output attributes , Tray Info.
now select output attributes
there you will see Copy Counter with drop down selection. in that select
PASS COPIES AS SEPARATE OUTPUT REQUEST(IN SAP SYSTEM)
Please let us knwo if you have any other issues,
Regards,
Ravi

HP Laserjet 1022nw running with Win7 64 computer printing multiple copies - won't stop

HP Laserjet 1022nw running with Win7 64 computer printing multiple copies - won't stop until you shut off. It resumes printing when you turn the 1022nw back on
Have renistalled Driver
It worked fine with Vista and XP

Hello @Astronav,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the issue of multiple pages continuously printing from your Windows 7 computer to your HP LaserJet 1022nw Printer. However, in order for me to provide you with accurate support I do need to know how your printer is connected to your Windows 7 computer.
Normally the continuous printing issues are caused by your router. When you send the print command to your printer from your computer than the print command goes from your computer to your router and finally to the printer. If there is a conflict with your router it may constantly send the signal to the printer to 'print' a job. Or, if the printed text is garbled information and weird symbols that your printer is printing it could be commands from the router to your computer that are improperly being sent to your printer and resulting in a page of weird symbols printing.
Therefore, it is very important for me to know how your printer is connected to your computer as that will guide us in the what direction we need to be troubleshooting.
Once I find out how your printer is connected to your computer I will be able to provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to resolve this continuous print issue. I look forward to hearing from you!

How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC. I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images. When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected. Neither is acceptable. How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image? I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file. This is what I have been doing as a work-around. But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
Thank-you!

A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.

Unable to print multiple copies of PDF using reader X with new Windows 7 computer

I recently upgraded to a new Windows 7 computer. Now when I try to print a PDF I can only print one copy. I have checked that my Mopier Mode is enabled and have tried everything I can think of. Why could I print multiple copies with Windows XP but can't with Windows 7?

How does that manifest itself:
you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?
you can change the number of copies, but it prints only one?

HP Laserjet 1022nw printing multiple copies

HELP! Ever since I purchased my new laptop with Windows 7, my LaserJet has been going crazy. I reinstalled new drivers and used the HP diagnostic tool and it says "all is working correctly". However, when I print a document of any size (even if just one page), the printer keeps re-printing multiple copies until the paper runs out or I turn the printer off. I have un-installed and reinstalled several times and the same issue keeps happening. I posted on the forum and one other person related that he had the same issue, but to this date neither of us have been able to correct it. I love my laser jet when it works, but have resorted to using my hp photosmart 7960 instead (higher cost of ink!). And this sucks because sometimes I have 50-100 page documents that I need to print. Laser is so much faster. Thanks in advance for the expert advice I know you are going to give me and the solution that I KNOW that you must have.

Officejet Pro 8600 will not print multiple copies

When I first set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 I could print multiple copies. Not sure when, how, or why but I can no longer print more than one copy of any document at a time regardless if it is one page or 100 pages. I tried to update the drivers but the update failed as it said it could not uninstall the printer. When I did the error reporting it said there was no solution.
My OS is Window XP Home
The printer is connected via network.
I print mainly from MS Word 2010 and Adobe PDF files and I have the same issue from either program.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Since the drivers and software refuses to update automatically, force it to. Uninstall all of the printer software and install it back using a fresh download. That will ensure that you have the latest driver and software for the printer installed and eliminate the need for updates for a while. I'll link them below. If that doesn't fix the problem with multiple documents not printing, try using an alternate driver for the printer. I'll link those instructions below. Let me know what happens.

HP printer will not print multiple copies of docs using new HP Pavilion HPE Series PC.

I purchased a new HP desktop computer with Windows 7. I connected my existing HP laser jet printer to the new PC and the drivers installed successfully. When I want to print multiple copies of a document the printer only prints one copy and stops. I can print multiple copies on my Kodak color printer from the new PC. I did not have this problem with my old PC. The issue only exists between the new PC and the existing HP laserjet printer. I have checked all printer preferences and settings to no avail. Any suggestions for further trouble-shooting?

printer model? is your win 7, 32 bit or 64 bit?

Printing multiple copies of PDF causes huge amounts of data to be sent to printer...

Whenever I need to print multiple copies of a PDF file Acrobat sends the complete file for each and every copy. This really chokes the RIP or laserprinter and takes many times longer to print than needed.
It seems it is something to do with the CS3 software for Intel Macs and the issue has been around for a long time... My only solution at this stage is to print PDFs from the Preview app (built into OSX).
http://designorati.com/articles/t1/graphic-design/1140/indesign-cs3-bug-when-printing-mult iple-copies.phpprint/
Is a proper fix ever going to appear for this issue?? Apparently it has been resolved in InDesign - why not in Acrobat?

Try to uncheck the collate box.
