Cannot collate copies

[robinsql]

Hi folks,

Am stuck in work until I can solve this one.
I am printing off delivery dockets. 2 of each one. I need these to collate and print as one job so they can be stapled.
At the moment they are printing as two separate jobs. I have selected the collation as crptCollated and CopiesToPrinter to 2.
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,
Robin

Robin,

I came up against a similar problem once. I'm not sure, but I think we traced it to the printer driver. Some drivers simply don't respect the collation option with multiple copies (in other words, you have to print each copy separately if you want collation).

You could check to see if you have the same problem with different printers, or alternatively, if you have the same problem with the same printer in different applications.

Thanks for the help Mike.
I actually removed the collate from my code and it seems to work now.
Thanks,
Robin
