FileMaker 5.5 not printing in OS X

[dekkoman]

FileMaker 5.5 won't print from selected pre OS X databases when running under MacOS X. It goes through the motions of printing, with a status bar, etc, but then never sends the info to the printer or the preview app. Other pre-OS X databases print fine. Printer is Canon S600 using driver supplied by Apple MacOS X.

The only difference I can see so far is the fact that the databases that won't print use custom made layouts, and the ones that do print use a FileMaker template. Could this be the reason?

Thanks for any help.

To answer my own question (it's amazing what troubleshooting can do for you!): We found a font that was preventing the file from printing - changed the font and the file printed no problems!

I assume the font is corrupt or damaged.

I have had quite a few problems with fonts and OSX, I had a few databases that were running fine in OS9, but would crash FMP in OSX..turned out to be a corrupted font. Go figure. Same font in both OS's
