can anyone give me a tip for the following:
I would like to print out say 4 copies of each packing slip, each copy on
different colored paper (all 'originals', not 'Copy of Packing Slip..
etc).
The copies should be collated for each packing slip, i.e. PS1 in yellow,
green, blue, red, then PS2 in yellow, .. and so on.
I thought I had it solved with 4 logical printers, each defined with the
proper tray for the right color of paper. All goes well as long as the
windows spooler does not get a status the the printer is busy. From here
on the single printer jobs which axapta produces for each PS and printer
come pretty much randomly, as far as the colors are concerned. I
understand the problem, apparently the spooler looks at each printer in
turn and takes the first logical printer which just happens to be free
when asked for its status, wreaking havoc with my beautiful collation.
I suppose I could put in a sleep(10000) between documents, so that the
printer is never 'busy', but that doesn't seem very elegant, somehow...
Or add a disk to the printer, with the same effect, but a bit more elegant!
But for now I am back to trying to use one printer and to change the paper
tray in between copies. I'm using a Kyocera FS3820N with 4 paper trays.
I can see the trays with printJobSettings().getNumberOfTrays() and
getTrayName() but calling printJobSettings().paperTray(5) for example
seems to have no effect at all.
Anyone have any experience or ideas about this?? All suggestions warmly
welcomed.
Thanks in advance
Jim
