Set Number Of Copies When Automatically Printing Crystal Reports .NET

These questions were received as a private comment in response to my Automatically Printing Crystal Reports in ASP.NET article:

Very useful and interesting article. Thanks a lot. I wanted to use this in a .Net app. Can we determine the number of copies to be printed dynamically using the second method(javascript)? Say If the user clicks on the print button (HTML submit button), the application would pre-determine how many copies can be printed for that user and automatically print them?
Also, the second window was opening in full size for me instead of 0 height and width. Please let me know what I’m doing wrong here?
Again…this is a wonderful article.

To the best of my knowledge, I don’t think you can set the number of copies to print through JavaScript.  When printing from a browser, all print settings are handled through the browser’s print dialog, and I don’t know of any way to script that without getting into ActiveX and trust permissions.

It’s tough to tell what’s going on in the second question because there are a couple of code snippets that open new windows.  My best guess would be that the script string isn’t being renered correctly.  View the source of the parent page, and look for the rendered script string.  Make sure it’s correct after it’s rendered.
