    We just got a hp5500n laserjet and it rocks. But, there isn't an option
    like on the rest of our printers to collate printing. I have a multiple
    sheet pdf file and I have to print 15 copies. If I type in 15 copies it
    prints 15-page 1, 15-page-2, etc. In iorder to collate I have to hint print
    15 seperate times. Any ideas out there? We have the most up to date
    drivers.

    Yeah, I know but we all know people in these groups are the best. I
    e-mailed HP and have not got any response. It is a 21 page pdf doc that I
    want 15 copies of. Just hoping that someone else has hp5500n and either has
    same problem or knows how to remedy. Doesn't make sense to me that it
    wouldn't coolate like the rest of our hp printers.

    1)Configure a 2nd printer with the same driver, but on port "FILE"
    2)When printing, print only 1 coply and it should ask you for a filename. If you use a PostScript Driver, name the file document.PS, if you use a HPHL2, PCL5e or PCL6 drivername it document.PLT
    3) Download GoPlot. http://www.output.tmfweb.nl/GoPlot.html
    install it.
    4) Use goplot to "pick up" the plot file you made, send it to the reqular Queue. Wicht Goplot you should be able to change the number of copies.
