				Batch reporting, print queue

				Does anyone have a solution for Chromeleon batch reporting sending the individual pages as separate print jobs? 
We have a shared network printer that gets a lot of use, and if someone else is printing a large job at the same time as you send a Chromeleon batch, all the printouts will get mixed together, lost when the other person grabs their print-job.

				If I understand your enquiry you would like to print all pages at once instead of printing separate pages.
What do you think of printing separate pages to pdf and then from pdf all pages as one job ?

				Actually there is another work-around, but it requires user knowledge.
You can specify the print-job as a "store and print" type of job through the printer preferences, but that still requires the user to make that change themselves when specifying the print job.
I was hoping that Chromeleon had some preference to prevent the individual print jobs that "batch" printing uses?
And I know about the radio-button reporting option within the CDS under reporting to print when batch is finished, but that will just waste paper.
I would like to be able to review, and after if hard-copy is required use batch to get every required print-out in one single job.

				the queues of the printer are handled by the printer and not chromeleon
so if it get's mixed up it is a printer issue, not a chromeleon issue
