don't think you can do that.
 
CR prints what the viewer sees.  If they see 1, it prints 1.
 
If it is from an application and the report doesn't take too long to generate, you could display 1 copy for the application but when the print (you would override or create your own print button) then you would create the second report and print that...not the one that was displayed.
 
The report would probably run/print faster if you got the data as dataset in the application and then pushed it to the report...once for the display and once for the print...this way you only have to wait for the data to come back from the database 1 time.  You would still have to wait for the report to format before printing, but that is probably shorter than getting the data AND formatting.
