Printing

Greetings,

I am trying to print a set of slides over a network printer. It as a total
of 27 slides. I was trying to print 2 sets. The results is that it will
print from 1 to 20, and start the second set complete before printing from
21 to 27. Is there a fix for that? I tried using the collate function but it
s still the same results.

I have some other powerpoints say, 20 slides, the same results will happen.
Like printing to certain pages, print the second set and finished up the
first set. Thus, the print-out will be 1-20, 1-27,21-27. Hmm.

Please assist.

Thank You.

Wild guess here, but this type of thing might happen if there's a long pause
between pages (possibly because the upcoming page involves a lot of data or
takes a long time for PPT to prepare for printing). The network spooler or
printer probably has a timeout setting; once the timeout elapses, it treats the
job as ended and prints what it can. If something partway through the job
causes a delay > timeout value, the spooler might treat the first part and
second part as two jobs.

Try printing to PDF then print the PDF instead. That might help.
