Please help:

I have set up a database (FM5.5) running on a win 98 box. I have a second computer (Win XP) connected to our network. Both computers print via TCP to a HP laser printer (PCL5 driver). The driver is identical on both computers other than one is XP and one is W98.

Printing from the Win 98 (Host) computer prints records using the print settings saved in the scripts (orientation, printer tray choice, etc.). When I print from the XP computer the settings shouild remain identical. Somehow, though, FM wont change the settings when necessary.

Any thoughts?

I had a similar issue on the mac side between OS 9 and OS X. The resolution that I found was to go into the OS that you want to print off of and create a script that will restore the page setup that will print your layout correctly. After you do that, then create another script that will test what platform you are using and then print your layout based on the page setups.
