Canon printer causing problems with pdf files.

[PaulChilds]

I have a Canon BJC 250 inkjet printer. When I open an Adobe Acrobat pdf file and try to print multiple copies of the same document, the option to specify multiple copies is grayed out. I can print one copy of the document, but have to repeat the print commands to print each successive copy. I have a windows 98 computer. I can print multiple copies of documents from any other programs -- word, excel, access, etc. simply putting the desired number of copies. But with a pdf file, the number of copies to print box displays the number 1 and is grayed out so that it cannot be changed.

It probably doesnt have the RAM to hold an entire PDF ot doesnt have enough page memory for a large graphic like PDF. Add RAM if possible

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think that is the solution - Here's the problem - I can't sent multiple copies of a pdf page that weighs in at 150kb, but can send multiples of publisher files at 3-5mb. Any more ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Hey Paul, glad you brought that up. Here are some more thoughts.
Many low end printers dont have their own drivers and use the GDI in Windows to print. Is this a GDI printer? That would affect the multi print. I know, I know, prints multi in other progys.
And or have you DL a new driver from Canon?
Which version of Adobe are you using? Better than 5.0? I think 5.05 is the lastest.
Lets do this thing!
