    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and a printer driver unit for printing variable copies of a plurality of pages in a document. In an embodiment, a user input comprising a number of copies of the plurality of pages to be printed is received from a user. Further, the user input is parsed to determine the plurality of pages to be printed and the number of copies that each of the plurality of pages to be printed. Thereafter, the content of each of the plurality of pages is retrieved from a temporary file or a memory associated with the printer driver unit and printed with the help of a printer device. Accordingly, the present disclosure allows users to print variable copies of plurality of pages on a single print action, and thereby enhances speed of printing and ensures optimal usage of resources.

    Abstract: A printing system that operates responsive to data bearing records enables providers of printable content records to have printed copies of the content records produced and delivered to designated record recipients. Central system circuitry (22) is in operative connection with at least one data store (24), and includes record data corresponding to the content records and records regarding printing operations, the locations thereof and other record data. The central system circuitry operates to cause printed copies of the content records produced by respective printing operations located in geographic proximity to respective record recipients. The exemplary system further enables a content record provider to operate the system to host content records so that printed copies of the records may be obtained by record requesters located in widely dispersed geographic locations.
