Re: How to print in 3 copies from DOS (HP LaserJet 1300)

Does this application always need to print 3 copies? In that case, set
the app once to Print to File (if it allows that) and then shell out to DOS (if it allows that) to run a small .bat file to print the file 3x. If she's got to switch back and forth between 1x and 3x, create two batch files, 1x.bat and 3x.bat. If need be, the batch file could prompt for the name of the file to be printed.

I'm asking about some pretty smart DOS driver, or program shell, which
coul do the trick ...

Hello!
I have small question.
I have an old accounting program and need to print from DOS to HP
LaserJet 1300 in 3 copies. The program itself doesn't have the option
to configure that.
Going back from after-printing to print the page again is not an
option, because it consumes too much time :-/
Is there a way to put some string to autoexec/config or any other
place ;) to make that happen ?
Regards!
