Print Maximum number of copies

Hello,
we have some problems printing many documents from a Filemaker database.
I just got confirmation from Apple that there's a limit of the number of objects you can have in your printer queue, that limit is 500 objects.
When the limit is reached, and you try to print more, you get no warning and the print job that just was sent to the printer vanish in empty space.
Some thoughts about this:
- Why in h*ll is there a limit??? If I - the computer owner - wants to print one trillion objects from my super cool, futuristic iMac, shouldn't I be able to do it?
- If they have made a limit, which genious decided not to have any warnings about it?
- Is there any parameter I can change to higher the print limit?
Apple - Do it again and do it right.

The value of 500 print jobs is the default limitation. It can be set to anything you want. Your limitations will be your hard drive space and the amount of paper your printer can hold.
You will need to edit the printing configuration file (/private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf). You can also edit this file using your web browser. Go to _http://127.0.0.1:631/admin_ and click on the appropriate button. You will need to enter your short user name and password to edit this file. For documentation on the variables and possible settings, see the documentation on your computer at _http://127.0.0.1:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html_. I believe the number of active jobs allowed is controlled by MaxJobs setting.
Be very careful in editing the configuration file. You can corrupt your printing system fairly easily and you won't be able to print.

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?

Printed double number of copies (Invoice printing)

Hi,
While giving print for invoice from vf03 its printing double number of copies i.e. if i configure 3 copies in
communication methods then it is printing 6 or 5 or 7 copies.
Please need information where could be the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
The extra copies your getting are they blank?
If you have used page-break option make sure there are no blank lines before it.
Coz it will result in a blank page.
Hope it helps!

Printer changes number of copies

hp officejet J4680 - printer wants to change the number of copies I request - I only want one and it changes that instruction to 6 or 8 or 7 - whatever it feels like - anyone had this problem?

Typically, for the number of Copies, you can set it to what you want as default by going to Copy>Settings>Set and New defaults.
If you want to reset this setting, you can go to Setup>Tools>Restore Factory Defaults.
Hope this helps.

Photosmart C4385 not printing correct number of copies

For each copy that is to be printed, 3 times as many copies are being made; i.e., 1=3, 2=6, etc. I have unplugged it from the power source and usb cable and waited and then plugged everything back in thinking that this would reset it. I finally installed the software again and still is not printing properly. Printer is used by an HP laptop running windows vista on the wireless and an HP desktop windows xp from the usb cable. I have run out of ideas and don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Spool request printing unlimited number of copies

Hi Experts,
I have a Z transaction which uses SAP Script for printing. There is a peculiar problem with this. It is printing copies with out any limit. It is continously printing although the spool request is showing only 1 request in the spool attributes. The same form is getting printed multiple times.
I need your help guys....!
Regards,
Arun

Hi Nagraj,
Thanks for the reply...i have checked in VV33 as well..but there is no output type defined in that transaction which is being triggered in my case.
still trying for the fix.....any how hoping that this is due to some configuration problem with output types or the printer....

                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.

PrintJob - number of copies - can I get?

Is there any way to get some extra information about the
selected printer like number of copies set by user on the print
dialog and on the priner settings panel in the control panel?
I want to limit the copies to 1!
So i have to know the settings for the printer and the print
job to restrict the printing if the number copies greater than
one.

not unless this is a projector file with a 3rd party wrapper
program.

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.

Error maximum number of files already open error.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed

Hi everyone,
While opening a file in Adobe reader 10 in Windows 7,I am getting the error as
"The maximum number of files are already open.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed."
Can Anyone help or suggest a setting for this ?
Thanks in Advance
Omkar

Hello omkar841987,
Could you please let me know how many files have you opened simultaneously.
This count will include files that are being displayed as well as opened (without being shown in the viewer).
Using Reader, you cannot make any setting for the same, but close some of the files before crossing that limit.
It also depends on your OS and memory size as you would need enough memory to open many files at a time.

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.

Again about t.code MN05: number of copies of MM documents printed

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
In particular, setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
Thanks

Hi,
Please select VN and check

Set number of copies to print

Hello,
We're using Adobe Lifecycle Designer 8.0 and we've the requirement to print copies of our generated pdf delivery form.
Does anyone know how to set the number of copies dynamically at runtime ? Maybe by using java script ?
Thanks in advance !

Yes, I know OPK8 is used to set number of copies for CO04. We set it to 1 as I mentioned. That is what is needed when the user executes CO04 directly. My question was is there a way to dynamically change the number of copies when running CO04 via creating a BDC (or call transaction) from a custom process, because then we will need more than one copy.
I am resigned to calling CO04 in a loop for the number of copies I need.
