Multi-part Form Printing

[Rodgers Hemer]

TOP POSTED

Thanks to Nancy and Richard for their suggestions.  However, Jim  
Asman's solution (see below) is the only one that satisfies my  
requirements.  Just printing more than one copy, by whatever means,  
will not properly print the job on 2-part carbon paper.  Each page  
must be printed twice before the next page is printed which is what  
the PCL code below does.

Sure...

where ### represents the number of copies. BTW, that's a lowercase
ell, not a numeral one.
