Print Multiple Copies

Is there any way to send a quantity to the print que to deterimine the
number of copies to print?
I need to deliver a copy of a report to each department that is
reflected on areport. Let's say for example, I have a report that has
3 departments with line items to be produced by each department, can
query the count of departments and send this count to the print que to
get this report to print three copies?
This report is being developed in SRS2000.

As far as I know, there is not an option to do this. That said, you
can group by Department as part of the table/matrix control and select
'Page break at end' as part of the grouping properties. That way you
would only need to print one copy and each Department would print on
its own page(s). Hope this helps.

and give the dept ids. so it reaches all the dept.
See if you can use this, if possible.

currently have the report page breaking on the grouped departments,
but the floor manager wants to see all items, not just a particular
departments items, on the shop order. And the departments are not
always fixed, orders can always have different departments. So I'm a
little stuck. Any additional comments/responses are appreciated.
