Printing Multiple Page Layout

[Island_tony]

I recently switched from Filemaker 4.0 to 7.0 Developer and from OS 9.2 to 10.3.9. I converted several data bases. I have a three page spread sheet layout in landscape in my Accounting file. Previously I used a Image Writer which doesn't have drivers in 10.3.9. I have a HP 4000TN Laser Jet on the Ethernet Lan and a Epson C86 Ink Jet at my desk on USB. I can only print the first page of the layout. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.

You need 3 print layouts, one for each page. If you set fixed margins, you may be able to use on either printer.

Ralph please check me out on this. I belive your answer to island_tony re his 3 page spreadsheet also answers my question.

I have a multiple column report that I want to display in landscape mode. However I have 43 columns that I want to display for each record (one for each time period).

Since that won't fit on one page, I loose all columns after the first page unless I "constrain to page width" in the "New Layout" window. Since that wraps the columns that won't fit on the first page, I will get multiple lines for the same record.

That makes scanning one field at a time across records difficult (confusing). I want a layout with a single line for each record from left to right for as many pages as needed to display 43 fields.

Is your advice to island_tony to create as many layouts as needed for the pages to the right of the first the only way to do this?

Depends on your printer paper size. FMP only prints to the right margin. It will print many pages. On my printer I can use 8.5 X 11 & 8.5 X 17. After printing trim borders and tape together. The only altenative is use smaller font size, that makes reading difficult.
