Per Lind Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) I hope next version of FM have the "Change Printer" function as in Productive Computings Plug-In. Just copy the printers name to a field. If you change printer you dont need to change within the scripts, just change the field. In one register you have all your printers for different uses: Printer 1: HP 4050 Printer 2: Dymo LBELWRITER Printer 3: Canon MP800R In the register you should print from you have following script steps: PCCP_ChangePrinter( Printers::Printer 2 ) Print PCCP_ChangePrinter( Printers::Printer 1 ) -Per Edited October 24, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well, you can just have subscripts that you call, each devoted to a specific printer. Then, by changing the subscript, you change the selected printer in all calling scripts. FM10 supposedly saves the printer in the Print script step.

Per Lind Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 The clou with Chenge Printer is that you dont save the printer in the script. If so, you have to change all your scripts if you buy a new printer. With Productive Computings Plugin you just change the printers name in the printerfield in qa linked register. Its no big deal change scripts if you only have a few but with large solutions then its a big job. What Im looking for is something build in so I dont need to buy a Plugin. -Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Per, I am saving the printer name in the script. But, just once. This subscript will be called by all other scripts that need to print. Changing the target printer happens in one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcooney Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've never done a multi-file solution, since .fp7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ah, luxury. I'm working with legacy systems; but even so, some files (such as Contacts) are shared between multiple solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
