Automatically staples a Crystal Report (produced by a .Net application)
I have a .Net application producing a big report grouped by client (each client has a couple of pages).
Is there any way to tell the printer (a big Xerox WorkCentre 7556 PCL6) to automatically staples every group (client)?

You can program bursting functionality into your app or get one of the 3rd-party Crystal reports desktop schedulers listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html that provides that functionality. At least one of these tools that provides dynamic bursting (so each group becomes a separate file, email, or print job) can also be called from your app via a full command line API.
Agree. You have to program it into the application or use an existing 3rd-party application that can do it.

I was pretty sure that this feature was not built into CR itself.
which 3-rd party exactly? I opened the page and nothing is about stapling.

The functionality is called Bursting (rather than Stapling). Stapling is achieved because each group becomes a separate Printout.

I can do it from within my application (launch a big loop and print one document for each client).
