Cannot Print Multiple Copies from WordPad or Paint (137243)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95

This article was previously published under Q137243

SYMPTOMS

When you print from WordPad or Paint, the Number Of Copies option may be unavailable, preventing you from printing multiple copies of the current document.

CAUSE

The printer that you are using does not support printing multiple copies. WordPad and Paint do not provide functionality for printing multiple copies; they rely on the printer driver to provide this functionality.

If you use a printer driver that supports printing multiple copies, this functionality is available in WordPad and Paint.

RESOLUTION

To print multiple copies of a document, print each copy individually. To bypass the Print dialog box that appears each time you print a document, use the Print button on the toolbar rather than the Print command on the File menu.
