Print without Dialog Doesn't work

[blizzard60]

I cannot, for the life of me, get the Print script step to save which printer it should go to. I am running FileMaker Server 7 on Mac OS 10.3.X.

I am running a POS system that I mostly need to print receipts with, but need to also print to an 8.5x11 printer and a Dymo LabelWriter. I would like to do ALL these things without dialog boxes, but FileMaker ALWAYS uses the last printer used, not the appropriate one I seemed to "save" in the script.

Also, is there any possible way to set up a script to print one label is something is true, and a different one if it's not? Example: If Suggested_retail_price = Our_retail Go to Layout X Else Go To Layout Y. How would I do this!!!

Thanks in advance for any and all help!!!

Changing printers in FM7 OSX is difficult. Worked great in FM5.x/6 but 7 will always remember the last printer/printing method till the user selects a print from file menu and then clicks on cancel. A workaround exists: Use Applescript to call a print [with dialog] and automatically click on cancel, then print [without dialog] should go to the correct printer. Not very satisfying but gets the job done till FM8 hopefully fixes this problem. Example file attached.

Thank you very much for the confirmation that I wasn't really doing anything wrong. I have been using a sort of version of what you are talking about with AppleScript.

Thanks!
