I cannot get collated output when printing multiple copies under Windows 98; if I want collated output, I must print individual copies of student handouts and tests as many times as required. With my test generation software, I must repeat the same7 keystrokes each time I print a copy of the test.
This problem has occured for me on different computers from different OEMs, with different processors, printing to different printers, on numerous NT/2K/XP domains and many Netware trees/contexts/servers, running Marknet or JetDirect or both. Applications range from different M$Office, Lotus SmartSuite, and WordPerfect versions through numerous other third-party apps too numerous to mention. The only thing in common in all cases was Win98.
In all cases:
I know enough to check the “Collate” check box;
Printer drivers are current;
Printers are properly configured (all other specified functions work);
M$ says it’s a hardware driver problem;
OKI, Lexmark, and HP say it’s an OS problem.
I’ve looked almost everywhere for a solution and have yet to find one that is reliable. I don’t care what M$, HP, Lexmark, or OKI say, it’s my problem! Can anybody help me fix it?
