Need to auto select number of copies to print.

[LiveOak]

Need a little more information:

1) What is each label? An address label? A product item label?

2) What are you printing them on? A 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of labels? A Seiko/Dymo/CoStar label printer?

In general, you can't do this with the "copies" selection in the print dialog box, you must duplicate labels using other means.

We need a method of pulling data from a FM 5 database and inserting it into the print dialog box to print multiple copies of lables for a given number of items ordered on an invoice. The printer is PC only, but the solution is cross platform.

The labels in question are product labels. They are printed on a Zebra 4000 series thermal label printer. One label equals one "page". The actual size is irrelevant. Normally, when one wants more than one label, one would select multiple copies to be printed in the print dialog box.

A dialog plug-in ***might*** do this. How about a loop with a decrementing counter that prints the required number of times?
