To anyone… a question… I'm looking for suggestions in printing multiple copies of a ProPage document to an HP LaserJet IIp+ with 1.5mb of ram… I'm on an old A2000 but using workbench 2.xx… A spooler that permits saving of the job and changing to multiple copies would be the ticket but I don't know of one… Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks… Tim B.

I can't comment on an HP laser printer but I do much of what you are asking everyday using PPage 4.0A and a Ricoh LP1200 laser. Print the file you want multiple copies of to ram with the CMD prog. Then set your printer to do the number of copies you want and send the file in ram to the printer 1>copy ram:cmd_file par: … and you get x copies of your doc. Pete

Just to let you know… Setting the HP's # of copies works… even without redirecting the output to ram:… Trying that never occurred to me because the printers settings are usually overridden by the application software… thanks for turning on the lightbulb for me!<g> All the best… tim b.
