Weeping and gnashing of teeth

[intermezzo79]

...which is what I'll be doing if I don't figure out this printing issue - is it possible to print (using Filemaker) back to back? I tried the method posted on the Filemaker website, but it didn't pan out.

If I cannot print a database back to back using Filemaker Pro 5.5, is there another program I could export it to that would work out? Word and Excel don't seem to do it and Adobe Pagemaker crashes when I try to import the information (I'm using an old Mac).

Any advice on this issue is appreciated!

The question is: can your printer do (and OS support) duplex printing? If so, then you can define the parameters in a Print Setup script step.

The fact that Word and Excel won't do it, either your printer or OS doesn't support duplex printing.

If you are referring to printing odd pages then even pages (print range) , no FileMaker does not support that by default. You can, with some fancy scripting, setup a script that will print the odd pages one at a time, then print the even pages one at a time.

Thanks for the input! After some digging, I found that our printer does not have a duplex unit. So no double-sided copying for me. Back to the drawing board, I guess...
