I have written a script which is designed to print out 3 layouts each on a different type of paper from the 3 trays of my printer.

Filemaker seems unable to retain the printer setting of the script to handle this simple task. They just revert to the default setting of the users computer.

This was a known issue in FM7, however the FM Knowledge base has now been updated claiming this problem is fixed in version 8. I have just finished upgradeing our systems, so I am now using FM Pro 8 on all of our PC's and FM Server 8 is running on Windows Server 2003. Yet I am still having the same problem.

Please help.

This seems to be an issue with Filemaker recognising certain printer names. I created a new print spooler on my server, with a shortened name, and the script worked partially. (I still can't get it to print correctly with the no dialogue option selected)
