Hello,

Yes the printing example does ignore the Copies property. It also
ignores the FromPage and ToPage and a few other properties.

And you already know the answer. If you need these options then you need
to handle these properties in your code.

I do not think any other development environment would do these things
for you. So you would have the same problem no matter what language you
used.

Thanks
