Sorry if I'm cross-posting, but I'm not sure what is the better post this
question. It's about joining together many printer jobs into a single one.

Note: this is not a Crystal Reports question.

I'm using Crystal Reports to print a report by using the ReportDocument's
PrintToPrinter method. The program creates many instances of a report, each
one loaded with different data. Then it calls the PrintToPrinter method of
each report object, therefore sending many jobs to the printer (before send
them, of course, it asks to the user to select a printer, using the
PrintDialog class, so the selected printer's name is informed to
PrintToPrinter method as an input parameter).

The program works fine when send the printer jobs to my local printer. But
there is a problem when I send them to a printer server, like Cypress,
because it shows a printer selection dialog for each job it receives. The
user will not be happy about having to select a printer for each 20 or 50
jobs. I wanna know if there is some way to join all these jobs together into
a single one, so the printer server asks to the user for select a printer
only one time.

My greetings.
