It's not too difficult to put together a form drive (I have attached a sample). 
 However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind.  If you cross modules 
(e.g. print an ADM form and then a NUR form) things become more complex because 
you have to deal with opening and closing different prefixes.  Also, unless you 
write all of your reports as fragments (a daunting task) some other job may 
come along and grab the printer.  This is because each report `closes out' 
after it has printed, and then starts anew with it's own print characteristics 
(lpi, lines per page, etc).  Yet, for the user, re-identifying the patient for 
each form is a real pain.

A user has submitted the following request.  Is this possible?  The only 
solution I can think of is a script.
---------------------------------------------------
Please investigate the possibility of batching multiple reports run by the 
Surgical Prep Area. There is a patient safety concern with multiple reports 
being printed separately - that reports from different patients will get mixed 
up.  
 
Specs:  The user should be given one prompt for patient name and then allowed 
to select from multiple reports.
