[Dx4win] pre-emptive QSLing

I have begun the task of QSLing via the Bureau for my various operations
and different call signs.

It is clearly not economical to send out QSL cards to all contacts, and I
have beentaking a look at the QSL Management softwary BV by DF3CB, but I
was completely unable to get it to work with my printer and I gave up.

It is also too much work to go through hundreds of pounds of QSL cards and
mark them one by one as received.

I was therefore pleasantly surprised to see that apparently DX4WIN
supports printing only the first QSO on a Band/Mode, ignoring subsequent
QSOs on duplicate Bands/Modes for printing.

http://www.ad1c.us/dx4win/appnotes/nr2.htm    refers.

This would eventually reduce the QSL load greatly as only new stations or
new Bands/Modes would be printed out the next time.

When going to Mark QSOs and printing to preview it appears that only 9999
QSOs will be printed.

This could well be a ´feature ´of the preview only, in that the preview
only shows the printout up to 9999 pages, but I would like to be certain
before attempting such a large printout.

I tried to Mark QSOs only for a specific country like ´JA' but Mark QSOs
clearly dealt with the entire log only and ignored my search criteria.

As my first batch of cards will be more than 20,000 cards - this is out of
more than 40,000 QSOs, I am wondering if there is a workaround for this?

Thanks for any help.
