Andrew5 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Where is "Filemaker" in the print dialog in version 11? I can only print 1 record! Edited March 10, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Do you happen to have "current record" selected as the option instead of "Records being browsed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew5 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) I mean the "Filemaker" choice in the Print Dialog (click "File" click "Print") is not there at all in the drop down menu of print options.

mr_vodka Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have no clue what you are talking about. What do you mean "FileMaker" choice? Do you mean perhaps when you are in FileMaker and you go to the File Menu, there is no Print Option? If so perhaps there is a custom menu in place.

iMarcW Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think what you mean is that in the Mac OS X print dialog, there is a series of submenus, and one of them is specific to the application (in this case it would say "FileMaker Pro"). There likely is something wrong on your machine specifically that is causing you not to see it, because all seems normal from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew5 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Yes, you are right. Within Filemaker 11, click "File" click "Print" and the OS X print dialog comes up, and in 9 in the middle of that print dialog window is a drop down menu, one of the choices within that is "Filemaker Pro" but this choice is lacking in the drop down menu in 11, although all of the other choices are there. Could it be because I have a trial version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have the trial version on 10.5.8 and the "Filemaker Pro" choice does appear in on mine. Are you really running on Tiger as your profile suggests? I was under the impression that FMP 11 wouldn't run on Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMarcW Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I would suggest you report this to FileMaker on their "Report a bug" forum. I didn't see any mention of it there so far. http://forum-en.filemaker.com/t5/Report-a-bug/bd-p/aut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew5 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) I have 10.6-- of course I switch my OS on this forum everytime and it keeps reporting 10.4 Edited March 12, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Typically when you don't see the "FileMaker" choice, you have a problem with your printer settings. You may need to reset your printer in your OS System Prefs. Or you can try again after you create a new OS user account. See if it is visible from that user account?

Newbies Paulee Posted March 12, 2010 Newbies Share Posted March 12, 2010 Try selecting "Standard" in print presets, when the print dialog box appears. Then preview your document and not print. Now print again and see if the "FileMaker Pro" displays. If it does, you'll need to select your presets and delete them -- and redo your presets. You must have "upgraded" your OS. enjoy!

Newbies Alan Applebury Posted March 14, 2010 Newbies Share Posted March 14, 2010 I just upgraded to FM 11 and now the print setup dialog has disappeared, (i.e. clicking on print setup does nothing)...if you create a script to show the print setup an error message appears that "print setup has been cancelled"?? I need this to direct my layouts to different printers and formats. It works fine in ver 10 on the same machine. using a PC w/ Window 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew F Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Great! This fixed the problem for me too. The Filemaker option magically reappears in the Print dialogue box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
