stefanshotton Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I want to be able to select a printer for a given report within a script and it allways prints via that specific printer without defaulting back to default printer. Very frustrating that the printer controls are very limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoweredbyFm7 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 you must configure the printer you will use in the script and select "perform without dialog" option. the script step, you should use, "print". Filemaker pro 7, use these default settings. The script is as below; Print [ Pages: 1 to 1; Orientation: Portrait; Paper size: 8,26" x 11,69" ] [ Restore; No dialog ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanshotton Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 only works on the first run of the script and then defaults back to default printer when the script is run again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Queue- Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Remove the No dialog option. I believe this has been reported several times to be a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 A nifty plugin is available from FMWebschool (FM vs. 5 - 7, Windows only) which eliminates these problems completely. It allows you to change printers within FM scripts on the fly and doesn't affect the Windows default printer settings. FM Printer Select I've found it easy to work with, an excellent price and a godsend. LaRetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
