Print Script when using OSX

I have created a database on a mac using os9.1. most all of the computers in my office use mac but i have two exceptions.

One PC and one mac using OSX

when I print on the pc and in OSX using the script that was created on the mac using 9.1 the page setups don't work and the OSX machine and the PC print two pages instead of one like all the other mac machines.

How do i get the PC and the OSX macine to print just one page?

when I go to layout mode i can see that the layout now extends past the one page, on these two machines but i can't move all of the fields every time i print from these two machines.

I can't find anything in the manual about how to set up different machines for printing. on the same network

Lost

thanks

You'll have to get on those machines and set up separate scripts for each platform that have the the page setup and print steps and save the page setup from each platform (each different OS). In your main script when you go to actually tell the program to print, use an if (status(currentplatform)=X) statement to determine what the platform you are using is (X would be: 1 for Mac < 10, -1 for Mac >10, 2 for Win 95/98/ME, -2 for Win 2000/NT). After it makes that determination, let your script run a subscript for the appropriate platform.
