stretch Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I have a problem printing from one of my workstations. I had a script that performed a print layout without dialog but for some unknown reason when I ran the script I got the message "Cannot access print options. Use the Control Panel to set up an active printer." I checked in Control Panel and had a networked printer set as the default and the printer was working. To temporarily solve the problem I unchecked the perform without dialog box in my script and the user can manually select the printer, however if I attempt to enter "Print Setup" in Filemaker I get the same "Cannot access print options. Use the Control Panel to set up an active printer." message. Has anyone any idea as to how I can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanley Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Stretch: Can you print to that printer from other applications, like a word processor? Just wondering if it is a FileMaker issue, or an OS issue. It sounds like an OS issue, from the dialogs you're getting, in which case I'm not going to be able to help you. I work mostly with Macs, and the world of Windows is just a maze for me. That said, if you can print from another app, it's likely a FileMaker issue... -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 Stanley, The printer works perfect in all other app's and it also works when I uncheck the "print without dialog" in my script and manually select the printer. Wishing I was working with Mac, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
