Print Jobs - One job per page?

[Matt Dee]

Hi Alex, one of our testers noticed that when printing the cube, each page gets submitted as a separate job. Given that he sent a cube off to the printer that was 80 pages long, this made canceling the 'job' next to impossible as he couldn't click through 80 jobs to cancel them all. (He ended up getting the network admin to clear the whole queue).

Can you either change this to a single print job, or provide a flag in the print method to switch between single or multiple jobs?

Cheers,

Matt.

Pity, but I have no idea how to make this task as single job. There is due to multiply picture files which really printed when user triy pring grid. It generate files not only along rows but along columns too so it cannot be printed as one large file for several printed pages

Erm, I noticed that when you print from the PrintPreview form, you DO send everything to the printer as a single job.

I compared the results of printing from the print method and printing from the print preview form and they're identical.

In the print preview form you've got the correct code:

Code: Select all

TPrinter.BeginDoc;
  while (PagesToPrint) do
    TPrinter.NewPage;
    //Do stuff with page
  end;
TPrinter.EndDoc;

Oh...just dumb problem.
