Carbon Copy feature available on HP P3015 or P4515?

[Ceechtay]

Just wanted to know if either the HP Laserjet P3015 or P4515 have a carbon copy feature. Basically, a customer wants the ability to send an invoice to the printer and have it print one copy on white paper from tray 1 and a second copy from tray 2 on yellow paper. This feature would need to be in the print driver, but all it seems I can download is the Universal Print driver, and I do not see that option. Also, I don't see this type of feature explained in the user manual either.

This feature is available on some Sharp products, like the MX-B401, but these machines are more expensive and are overkill for this customer's printing needs.

So, is there a way to setup the Universal Print driver to do this? Or, are there product-specific print drivers for these printers that mayt have that feature?

Thanks for any help!

It turns out that this feature is hard to find on lower-priced printers. I ended up using a program called PrintMulti to get the job done. It's free for non-server OSes (I just installed it on a warehouse computer running Win7).

It was a pretty easy setup.

I am copying a post that does a good job of explainging the setup:

you need PrintMulti (http://www.lvbprint.de/bin/current/PrintMultiSetup.exe)
It allows you to print a document to multiple printers even from
different manufacturers with many option. Since there is no english ****The install provides an English version of the manual****
manual (but a detailed example is installed in the program path), here
are the necessary steps:
- install another printer (e.g. name it "formularprinter") with the same
driver as your destination printer (perhaps it is necessary to install
another printer and change the driver later)
- change the print processor to PrintMulti for the formularprinter
- add the following entries to the printmulti.ini in the c:\program
files\printmulti path:

[formularprinter]
Active=1
PrintSelf=0
ActionTray3=Print;PrintFromTray3
ActionCopy=Print;PrintManual

[PrintFromTray3]
Active=1
Printer=HP 4050TN
PaperSource1=257

[PrintManual]
Active=1
Printer=HP 4050TN
PaperSource1=258


the real entries for papersource1 can be read from the log file after a
first try. They differ from printer to printer and may look like:
1: 15 -> Automatically Select
2: 259 -> Drucker autom. Auswahl
3: 258 -> Man. Zufuhr (Fach 1)
4: 257 -> Fach 1

use the number or the text (e.g. "257" or "Fach 1", which means Tray 1)

There are many more entries, which could be useful for your duplicate
output:
NUp=4 prints four pages on a sheet
Color=0 prints the duplicate black/white for all output

Good luck
