Compile/merge spool files

by shart . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

On Win2K – we print from an ERP app. that sends multi page forms/reports as individual jobs (e.g. printing a ten-page report or form yields 10 single page print jobs (one can see 10 jobs stacked in the spool view — when accessing the printer icon from the system tray).

The app. *CANNOT* be changed so it compiles print jobs and sends 1 job/spool to Windows.

Need to be able to tweak windows somehow so that multiple jobs get merged into 1 spool file…so the printer receives 1 ten page job (instead of 10 1 page jobs).

Any suggestions on Windows tweaks or 3rd party apps. that could do this automatically? (I will likely lose a client if I cannot make this work.)

Thanks in advance.
