Print multiple copies?

[Ray_Barber]

Hey, scripters. Is there a way to specify that:

print window 1

can print multiple copies? Thanks!

Thanks – I’m using FaceSpan, and it doesn’t open a normal print dialog. I had it hacked with a loop, like Marc suggested, but the print requests are sent to quickly to process and several are always dropped; I think I will try a delay or something in between.
Thanks, both of you!

: I don’t see a way to specify number of copies in the script, unless you print
: it via a separate application.
: Meaning, if you made the window into a file of some kind (text file list,
: screenshot image, etc.), then you’ll have options for number of copies
: within the app you’re printing with.
: I know this doesn’t help alot, but it might save you some frustration trying
: to make something happen in that way if it isn’t possible.
: Be well.

It depends on the application from which you’re printing. Most apps present a print dialog that you have to “OK”. Some have a special “instant print” command that bypasses it. In such a program you could put your print in a loop for multiple copies.
