Can't print multiple copies
I am trying to print multiple copies of a file using Works 9.0,
Windows vista, and a Canon mf4200 laser printer. I am aware that I need to check the collate box to print from Works. I have tried it with the box checked and unchecked. My other printers print multiple pages just fine. This laser printer is used, but new to me. It prints single copies just fine, and it will do multiple copies when I am scanning something. If I have to, I can print one copy, and then have it scan and print multiple copies. But I shouldn't have to do that. Any ideas why it won't print multiple copies? |

Have you tried; Wordpad, notepad, a browser like IE and Firefox ? -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

I was able to scan and make copies, but the setup file I downloaded didn't work. The setup CD worked great, so I have only started printing with this printer a couple weeks ago. I just now asked it to print two copies of a page from Mozilla, and that worked fine. Notepad worked fine too. So, it has to be something with works and the printer. I know the normal problem with Microsoft Works is that the box for collate must be checked. But I have tried that already. I also tried unchecking it and rechecking it. And leaving it unchecked. I tried doing a search, but the only solution I could find was the collate box. Thanks. |

Now what you need to look at the version of the Canon driver for the Vista OS (32bit / 64bit) and see if there is a newer version. Then see if the Canon supports a compatibility mode like a HP Laserjet and try using a Laserjet driver and see how MS Works prints multi-pages with that. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

I went to Canon's website and downloaded the driver listed there. I assume it is the same one I already had as it kept asking me if I wanted to replace the current files. I'm not sure how to check the compatibility issue. |

I clicked yes several times and installed it, but I think I was just reinstalling the same driver that I already had. When i got the printer a couple months ago, my friend did not have the CD, so I downloaded a driver. At that time, my computer refused to recognize the printer at all. When I got the CD from my friend later, I used the full installation program, and now my computer recognizes it. I think the problem is a setting within works since it can do multiple pages in every other program. But I can't find any place to change an appropriate setting in works. |
