Hello,

I'm using Inkscape to print labels on a label printer (a Zebra). What I'm trying to do is to print hundreds of copies of a label, which is a one page static SVG file.

My issue is that the File/Print... dialog only allows me to print 100 copies at a time. When I try to input a larger number, it changes the field back to 100; if I scroll up the number it stops at 100. Since I need to print these amounts rather frequently, and I have quite a few SVG files for which I need to do this, I wanted to tell Inkscape the total number of copies I need, and come back later to pick up the printed labels.

Is there a way which would allow me to input a larger number or to print a larger number of copies?

I'm using 0.47 on Xubuntu 10.04.

Thanks,
udop

i've no experience of inkscape on linux (only on mac and pc) however how come you haven't upgraded to 0.48?
I was fairly certain the print dialog is actually supplied by the OS, but that may not be on linux?
If indeed it is within inkscape, you could easily enough get the sources for inkscape and compile with a higher limit set. It shouldn't be too hard to find this if it the case that inkscape imposes the limit and not the OS. Try printing (but cancel before actual print happens) from another application and see if it lets you set higher than 100 copies.

Thanks for your reply, chriswww.

I tried 0.48 and it's the same thing.

Regarding the print dialog being supplied by the OS, that crossed my mind too, but other applications do not show that limitation. If it is indeed supplied byt the OS, my guess is that there is some parameter being sent to limit the number of copies.

I wanted to avoid compiling on my own if there is a simplier way, but since yours was the only reply to the moment, I think that will be my only option. If I succeed on that path, I post it here.

Cheers,
