Duplex print problem

edited May 2005 in General
Hi All!

We are trying to print simple report with 3 pages (1,2,3) in 2 copies and
with duplex print option.

After print work done we have next result:

First sheet:
+-----+ +-----+
| | | |
| 1 | | 2 |
| | | |
+-----+ +-----+

Second sheet:
+-----+ +-----+
| | | |
| 3 | | 1 |
| | | |
+-----+ +-----+

Third sheet:
+-----+ +-----+
| | | |
| 2 | | 3 |
| | | |
+-----+ +-----+

See on second page: first page of copy 2 was print on back side of last page
copy 1!
What are way to put break after copies with duplex print?

Printer: HP 4200,
RB: 7.04, 9.01
Option Duplex print in PageSetup dialog has no effect.

Regards,
Nikolai

    Hi Nikolai,

    There are two things you can try.

    1. Try setting the Report.PrinterSetup.DelegateCopies property to True.
    This is a public property so it will need to be set in code before the
    report is printed. This will allow your printer driver to handle creating
    multiple copies of your report and if the driver you are using was designed
    to handle this type of print job should solve the issue.

    2. If the above does not work, you can use the method in the example below
    to give each copy its own print job which solves the problem as well.
