Problem with a stapling printer

Hi,

I am using version 12.02 of RB through Delphi 2007.

I am printing 2 copies of a report which has 3 pages. I configured both the
report and the printer driver so that the pages ARE NOT assembled together
(Colate checkbox is NOT checked). It prints pages 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 which is
what I expect.

The printer I am using has stapling capabilities. When I print a document
using notepad (or Word), the printer orders the pages correctly (1, 1, 2, 2,
3, 3) and staples the 3 stacks separately as I would expect (1st staple :
pages 1 and 1 together; 2nd staple: pages 2 and 2 together; 3rd staple:
pages 3 and 3 together).

The problem I am experiencing is when I print my report using ReportBuilder.
The 6 pages (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3) are all stapled together in a single document
which is not what it is supposed to do.

I have tested many other applications with printing capabilities and they
all seem to work fine. The only applications I could not have the printer to
staple correctly are the ones using ReportBuilder.

Is there a way to configure my report so that the printer knows how to
staple my documents correctly ?

Thanks!

    I posted a similar message eariler today that I tried to delete because I
    did not explain the problem correctly. If it's still visible, you can ignore
    it.

    Thanks :-)

    Try this...

    myReport.PrinterSetup.DelegateCopies := True;
    myReport.Print;
