Passing Number of copies / Duplex into print presets

I need to pass the servers simplex/duplex and number of copies settings into the print presets so the user doesn't have to remember each forms setting.
Can I pass these through the xfdf?

No, but the simplex/duplex setting can be embedded into the form if you're using XFA forms.

Setting the number of copies to be printed through crystal reports?

I posted this in another section and got redirected to this one.
So I'm working with some software that utilizes Crystal Reports 10, and am looking for a method where through Crystal Reports I can take a user entered parameter value and set that as the number of copies for the printer to print. This isn't an option in Crystal Reports itself, so I understand I may need to dig a little deeper and write some customization to accomplish this.
I've been building Crystal Reports for about two years now, all self taught, but have never had to go this far, where/how would I start on this? And I tried searching for a similar question in these forums to see if it's come up before but couldn't find anything. I'm kind of stuck at the moment because I can't alter the software that's using Crystal Reports to set number of copies, so I want to see if I can do anything in Crystal.

Really, this is actually more of a report design question, though I understand why they's ask you to post here also.
Anyhow, I think what you are asking is; can I design a report such that it will internally hold how many copies it should print(?).
Answer to that is no.
Only way to do multiple copies would be to modify the app you are working with. E.g.; go to the authors of the app and ask them for an enhancement to their product so that you can print multiple copies.

Unable to print number of copies on label printer

Hi Everyone,
I am able to print smartform any number of copies on standard printer.
But when I change from standard printer name to Label printer name and execute the smartform with number of copies ( greater than 1 ).
For label printer I am able to print only one copy, irrespective of number of copies specified. However I can able to number of copies specified for standard printer.
Can anyone help me what could be the reason? Is that any settings should be done for label printer ?
Thanks.

PIXMA MP610: Can Printing a large number of copies damage the printer head

Hi!I want some suggestion, if some one give me nice suggestion it will be best for meI bought Canon Mp610 , for my thesis (which contain 400 pages inculding color and black pages), and require 10 copies meanwhile, 4000 pagesI decide print to thesis with 1, or in 5 actions , I need suggestion which will be best for me to print collective 5 copies or print one or two copy then give it rest for 15-30 minutes and then give action for other copy, but is time consuming, but my colleague said me if you print 5 copies in signle or multiple actions, it damage the printer head, and you will loss your printer. He said me to use Laer jet for black portion and for color use inkjet printer. I am worried about his suggestion because i will waste my lot pages which will be print in black then I will replace them with color pages. Please give me your kind suggestion Please RegardsMuqeet Soomro

I know what you mean, this has to happen every month, and for some reason (orders from the bosses), i have to be at work until the whole job has finished printing incase a batch goes wrong so we can imediatly start reprinting, it used to be only from the Friday night until early Monday morning, so I'm also trying to get the job done a bit quicker, but i can't see that happening.
The problem is that its all together 150 000 documents that we need to print that will be split up into these batches (within 5 days, monthly), the printer that we are printing to is an OCE, so it can handle big batches. the thing is that we use to print it from an AS400 through DOCOUT, so while the printer was printing one of these batches, it was busy spooling the next batch, which made it a bit quicker, but now this process has to move over to JAVA, and if i can the program to spool the jobs, i can start spooling while the previous one is printing. i even thought about writing a batch through the socket, in theory its almost like spooling, but i don't know how much RAM the OCE has.
I also thought of merging the POSTSCRIPTS into one document, but that will take alot of time and space.

You can try using the FND_REQUEST package.

(printer IN varchar2 default NULL,
style IN varchar2 default NULL,
copies IN number default NULL,

print_together IN varchar2 default ’N’)

Adobe Reader X cannot respond to printer properties number of copies issue

Hi to all!
I have an issue using Adobe Reader X 10.0.1, 10.1.0, 10.1.2, when select File > Print > Page Handling: Copies = 1, click Printer Properties > Page Setup, specify eg. Copies : 5, it print 1 copy only instead of 5 on Windows platform.
Happen to a number of printers, eg. HP, Epson, Xerox, Canon, Brother printer, etc.
For some reason, Adobe Reader X cannot respond to the No. of copies specified in the printer properties.
Anyone have any solutions or workarounds to solve this issue besides specifying Adobe Reader X : File>Print>Page Handling: 5 copies?
Is there any website, forum, supporting documents, with regards to above scenario?
Please kindly advice, thank you in advance!

Hi LoriAUC,
Sorry for the late response!
The users had a habit of going into the printer properties to specify other printer options eg. 2-sided printing, manual feed printing, heavy paper, etc... besides the number of copies inside the printer properties as well. Therefore, they prefer to do all the various changes in the printer properties instead of changing it at the Adobe Reader dialog.
The same method were applied by all the users in Adobe Reader 9.4.7 and there were perfectly no issue at all! All the network printers (23 different brands and models in the network) responded to the printer properties "number of copies" accordingly.
It seems that Adobe Reader X dialog Page Handling: No of copies, cannot synchronise and recognise the "No of copies" specified in the printer properties. This symptom was tested and found to be the same behaviour for different printer manufacturers. Wonder if there is a bug with Adobe Reader X as this issue did not occur for Adobe Reader 8 and 9 versions. The users were using Reader 8 and 9 versions before and there were no complaints until it was eventually all upgraded to Reader X, starting from 10.0.1, 10.1.0 and now 10.1.2.
What do you think could be the cause?

Hide Number of copies in Print Dialog box

Hi All,
I have a requirement in smartform wherein i have to disable the area where we enter number of copies in the Print dialog box, which comes when we execute the program.
In the print dialog box we usually enter the output device and can choose various options in Spool Control, Number of Copies, etc.
So here my requirement is that even if user enters more than 1 in Number of copies, in the output it should take only as 1.
Kindly let me know how to do this..
Thanks,

Hi Ashwani,
You need to do an implicit enhancement for this requirement.
Program : SAPLSTXBC
Include : LSTXBCFOP
Form : PBO_FRONTEND
Code :
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF SCREEN-NAME = 'SSFPP-TDCOPIES'.
SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Number of copies by default in a printer?

Hi everybody.
I've a simple problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
If I go to TC SP01 with a specific user and I see the details of a spool request (double click on it), if I go to output attributes, at No. Of Copies I see a 2, and all documents printed with this printer has it... I want to fix it to 1 by default for all documents, but I can't find where...
Thanks in advance,
Oscar

Hi Oscar,
I don't know of any way to default the number of copies at a printer level. It is posible for the user to set it as a default, but it's quite complex so they must REALLY have been tinkering to set this.
Here goes,
As the logged on user print something (anything)
In the print pop-up choose Properties
In the next pop-up choose Specification
In the field name drop-down choose 'Number of copies'
Under this the default value will be shown.
If this is set to 2 you can change it back to 1.
Feels like a long-shot, but worth checking.
Regards,
Nick

Storing Print Presets in a Manually Created PDF

I am a Progress programmer creating/printing PDF documents from reports written in Progress by wrapping a PDF shell around the document. Having reviewed Adobe documentation, I know there is a feature called print presets that can be setup so that each time a document prints, certain key fields like tray, number of copies etc will be pre-populated into the print dialog. I wonder if someone can tell me how to add this information to a document during the process of creating it. Is it control code (number of copies) control code printer tray etc and what are the control codes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is similar functionality available through the API? I know how to use PrintParams to select the printer and to adjust Acrobat-specific print settings, but what is the proper approach to control basic settings like number of copies to print, tray to print from, duplex mode, etc.?

Change copies number on print presets?

Hi!
First, sorry for my english, it's not very good.
Second, the question: I'm makingt a script because I need to print a lot of documents (covers), all with the same general properties (printer, color settings, paper settings -at the printer driver; this is the most important, I can't set this values in inDesign printing dialog-, bleeds, marks, etc saved like preset) but different number of copies. I wish to know if I it's compatible presets and variable number of copies.
Thanks, all!
Regards,
Jose

Upsssss!
Javascript, with cs4 and cs5.
I must put this line before the print command line?
something like:
myPrintPreset.copies = 10
app.activeDocument.print(false, myPrintPreset)
Thanks!

Acrobat 9 Pro - Print Number of Copies

At times I want to print to paper 2, 3, or 4 copies of the same document. With the printer window opened, it allows me to select the quantity, but when I click OK to proceed to print I received another popup window reading:
The printer cannot support this many copies.
Number of copies will be set to printer maximum of 1.
What/Where/How do I find the setting to resolve this issue?

Bill... do not misunderstand my words as your views are not my intentions. Take into account, there is a difference between asking the OP, "Have you checked the Print Drivers", and or, "If so, what did you learn?"; rather than telling the OP what the issue is before all facts are gathered, then becoming defensive or insulted.
Example:
I am cooking. I taste the food and say, "Something doesn't taste right. You say, "You didn't add salt". I respond, "I did, it's not salt, it must be something else". Instead of asking first if I added salt, or offering another suggestion, you are insulted and or become defensive. Case in point.
I hope this cleared up your unjustified comment.
Back on subject:
I posted the screen-shot on the fly and first time using this forum and its UI. When it is clicked on, it expands (as you saw). After it expands. Change the "Zoom Level" on your screen to find the correct resolution. Hint - It tells no more than the words in my original post.
Thanks for your help. I'm going to sleep before the sun comes up. Have a happy Sunday.

import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.Copies;
    public class Print {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                // Open the image file
                InputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\coupon.txt"));
                // Find the default service
                DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
                PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
                PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
                aset.add(new Copies(2)); // Dosent work only 1 copie is printed
                // Create the print job
                DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
                Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(inputStream, flavor, null);
                PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
                // Print it
                job.print(doc, aset);
                // Wait for the print job to be done
                pjDone.waitForDone();
                // It is now safe to close the input stream
                inputStream.close();
            } catch (PrintException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
    }

Same problem here. I have found hundreds of questions in several places, but no answer.
Problem is that when I set the copies, PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices returns no results.
Please help.
