Print multiple copies of a crystal report

Hi,
We have a crystal report that always has to be printed 2 times.
We don't want the user to have to enter a '2' at the 'number of copies' option when printing the report.
We would like the report to know for itself it has to be printed twice.
I know it's possible to create a 'main report' and have two subreports linking to the same report, so it would print two times.
This is not possible in this case due to already existing subreports.
Another option is to have some extra table with only two records, and use those two dummy records to create a group (so the reports gets printed twice)
This isn't an option too.
Is there no way to using a formula and some counter in the report itself ?
Many thanks in advance,
Vincent

No, try setting the default printer to do it. Or you'll have to write an application do it.

How to print multiple copies of a single report(label) based on a variable

I have a crystal report v.9 linked to an excel file with multiple rows of information. Each row contains the label information and one column has the quanity of each label to print. What feature in crystal do I use and what is the command I will need? The information changes on a daily basis so I need a formula. Thanks in advance.
Kurt

There have been a few posts that have answered this in the past. (I know because I answered them! :-> ) You might want to search for them.
But basically, you want to do something like this in an SQL Command data source (MS SQL):
declare @loop int;
set @loop = 1;
-- copy table structure (or otherwise create a temp table):
select * into #temp from table where numLabels < 0 and numLabels > 0;
while @loop < 20 -- or whatever a maximum number might reasonably be
begin
insert into #temp select * from table where numLabels >= @loop
set @loop - @loop + 1
end
select * from #temp order by name, address -- something to keep copies of labels together

Print Multiple Parameter Value in Crystal Report 2008

Hello and Hi
i want to select multiple warehouse in a pramater , i select and report working but parameter print only first parameter value on report.how can print all selected values on report

Hi
I am assuming you select warehouses WH1,WH2,WH3,.......
You have to create a formula in Crystal
It should look like this
Join({?YourParamaterName},",")
Place the formula on your report.
The last Part of the formula is the "notation break" between every parameter returned. In this case a > , <
Return would be WH1,WH2,WH3,.......
Join({?YourParamaterName},"#") would return WH1#WH2#WH3#.......
Hope you get the idea
If this solution helps, please rate me.

Hi,
I was wondering if you were able to get your multiple copies working? Below is what I have so far, just trying to get it to work before changing the actual template.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

Hi Gurus!
I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
Please suggest.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards

Printing Multiple Copies of Same Image on Multiple Pages

I have Photoshop Elements 11 on a Windows 8 platform. I can NOT get it to print multiple copies of the same file on multiple pages. I need one file printed on one page multiple times. I have tried the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and nothing changes. It still just prints one and is done.
I use this for label printing, so I need it to print more than one copy at a time. It also is not saving the settings, so everytime I hit print, I have to readjust the print requirements. This just is not going to work when you need to print a few hundred copies at a time.

You can create your own picture package, if none of the options in the PSE print window>Type of Print work for you. Just make a blank file, copy/paste your image and alt drag it to make multiple copies. You can use the move tool to position things as you want them.
Generally speaking, though, for something like label printing, it's simplest to use PSE to create the image, then use your word processing/desktop publishing program to print the actual labels.

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

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.

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

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

How to print multiple copies on one page ?

How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
thanks

Hi, Peter S.
>I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
* It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
* For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.

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.

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.
