Print dialog not displaying on Macs

Hello,

I would like a script to open the print dialog box before printing regardless of platform so the users can make choices. My client has a variety of MACs and PCs. Good old Print[ ] opens the dialog box on the PCs but not the MACs.

Couple other details... I only have a PC to test on. This client is in Connecticut and I am in Ontario. We have never had a platform problem before and we just email files back and forth.

I seem to be missing something. If I use Print Setup[ ] and then Print[Perform without dialog], the user can cancel the print setup but cannot cancel the print! I was thinking the Print Setup[ ] would force it on the MACs. They have to be able to cancel the print. If I use Print Setup[ ] command before Print[ ] (with dialog), I get the dialog box twice on my PC before print.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Kay

Happy Monday!

Print Setup is called Page Setup on Macs, and it's a diffferent set of options to Print! You need to have

Print Setup []

Print []

The print step needs to display the dialog.

I can't believe I didn't know that nor could find it in Help yesterday. Thank you so much.
