Doriano,

you can completely forget this problem if you print into files and send 
them to kprinter. Just read out the number of copies and send the file 
twice, for instance.

I think, Benoit even emphasizes doing it this way.

Anyway, since I've been doing it, I never had any trouble printing from 
my Gambas apps.

Rolf
