birchtree Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Hello I am trying to use a laser printer as well as an ink jet printer. Some reports go to the ink jet (when I need color) and others go to the laser. I have saved the settings for each report for the different printers but when I run a script to print a report it picks up the printer from the last report, not the one I saved with the report. I have tried checking and unchecking Restore when selecting Print Setup but it doesn't help. I can't figure out what restore does. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Fitch Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Page Setup only affects what the Page Setup menu can actually do. On a Mac, you'll need to use AppleScript or a FileMaker plug-in to switch printers. Sorry, no time right now to get into the dirty details.
BobWeaver Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 I posted some details about doing this here: http://www.fmforums.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000014
