This used to work under 10.5.x, it would list all the local and networked printers when executed as a calculated applescript:

"tell application " & Quote("FileMaker Pro") & ¶ &

"set theDoc to item 1 of (documents whose name starts with " & Quote(Get ( FileName )) & ")" & ¶ &

"set cell "& Quote("LocalPrinterList") & " of current record of layout " & Quote("devOfficeLocations") & " of theDoc to do shell script " & Quote("lpstat -a") & ¶ &

"end tell"

Now I get "A "" can't go after this identifier." Unknown error -2740.

HOWEVER, if I take that script, paste it into FileMaker's Data Viewer it shows me the calculated AppleScript:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

set theDoc to item 1 of (documents whose name starts with "ION")

set cell "LocalPrinterList" of current record of layout "devOfficeLocations" of theDoc to do shell script "lpstat -a"

end tell

which if run in AppleScript Editor, works fine and pastes the result into my filemaker file.

Any ideas?
