Large volume printing question


  • Subject: Large volume printing question

Hello,

I am writing a program that will be maintaining approximately 500 student records, with information of about 2-3 pages each. I would like to print all of these records out at once.

However, printing 1000-1500 pages is not something I would do lightly! I am trying to choose a strategy that is not going to cause undue memory problems with the printer or the computer in question. I have three possible ideas in mind, and I would value any suggestions....

1. Make the computer do 500 small print jobs, using a loop.
2. Make the computer do one very large print job by creating a huge NSView and putting all the information into this view
3. Make the computer do one very large print job by creating a 3 page-sized NSView and programatically entering info, depending on the page number being printed at the moment.

Any recommendations?

Thank you,

Harlan Howe
