2 up printing on laser

edited September 2002 in General
Anybody, point me in the right direction...
I can't seem to find the tech-tip or past posts about how to print 2 up
forms like 1099 on a laser printer. By "2 up" I mean 2 forms on a
single 8.5x11" page.
Thanx,

    This is usually done by creating the half page 1099 layout and saving it to
    file. Then creating a new report with a page height detail band. Create two
    fixed half page subreports in the band and load the 1099 layout into each.
    (this can be done in code if you want.) There may be a more clever way, but
    that's the first technique that comes to mind.

    Next I would try page height detail band. Two half page subreports (set to
    fixed). Assign the data pipeline to the main report. Leave the data
    pipeline for each subreport blank (all of the data-aware components in the
    subreports can still retrieve the field value.) That's it...
