Unfortunately I have the requirement to be able to ether print to
paper or to PDF and if I split into smaller batches, I'll end up with
a separate PDF file for each batch. Also, it only prints the cards
it's got.
Do you know if this is already a bugzilla report (crashing when
printing large number of pages) or should I file it?
Cheers
Peter
