Print multiple copies of Report

[DavidS]

I use the print button for a report and select the # of copies to something
other than 1. The report is always being printed as 1 copy only.

Any reason why?

If you open the report in preview, you could print out 99 copies like this:

DoCmd.PrintOut Copies:=99

I'm aware of that - but you didn't answer the question. The question was I'm
USING the print feature of Access and it doesn't appear to work for printing
copies. Again, any reason why?

Are you talking about the Number of Copies in the Print dialog?

I think that number would be handled by the printer driver. If it is not
being handled correctly, that suggests your printer driver is not handling
it correctly, so updating the printer driver might fix the issue.

You could verify if that is the case by choosing a completely different
printer driver (e.g. an Espon inkjet if you use an HP laser), and seeing if
that one works correctly.

If anyone else has experience this, please chime in.
