stanley Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I've got to completely redo the FileMaker work on a client's PC which needs to do the following: print on two printers, fax and email. I set the system up such a long time ago that I can't remember what I used to get it to switch between all this, and am thinking of using the Change Printer plug-in. Anybody have any feedback on this item? Or anything else that does the trick? It's a Win 98 machine running FMP 5.5 on an FMServer network. The printers are Epson FX-880 and Dymo LabelWriter 330. Thanks in advance -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I have did this a long time ago. I used an application that writes directly in the register of filemaker. It always worked fine...but when i can find the software...i'll let it know here:) greetz, Jeffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costello_ryan Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I made a plugin to do this. It took me about an hour to make since it just required chaning a registry setting. You can download it if you want at http://costello_ryan.tripod.com/download/changePrinter.zip and its totally free. It will only work on FM 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, and there is a different function for each version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 I can't download that file: get a wierd message from Tripod. Is there anywhere else I can find it? -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costello_ryan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Weird. You're right I get it too. It doesn't seem to want to link directly to downloads. Anyways, go to http://costello_ryan.tripod.com and the link to the download is on the top of the page. It should work then. Btw, I also have a free plugin to run scripts on field exit if you want it too. You can download that here also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 Ryan: Thanks. That worked fine. I'll play around with the plug-in over the weekend and let you know if I have any questions. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conartist Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ryan: have you updated your change printer plugin to work with FM 7? I would love to get my hands on this if you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
