fmgo13 Filemaker Go 13 Printing

[Don_Macaroni]

Been 3 days now... almost turning kookooh here. I created an awesome bar database where paper pencils and notepads are now iPads. Drinks can be selected and customized, all works flawless. Up till the moment I need to print. This is a no go. I kind of got a LAN receipt printer working, 100% correctly on the Windows 8 computer that shares the database. The LAN printer came with "iPosCloud" and supposedly works on iPads, but iPosCloud probably hard coded something to make it work as there are no drivers available for this printer (PBM P-822D), not for OSX nor for iOS.

The following issues I need to solve today...

 

1. Setting up a LAN printer (connect with a wire to a wireless router) and print to it.

2. Print from FileMaker Go 13 without every time having to select the print settings (this is soooo freaking annoying and somebody at FileMaker should be fired for this).

I don't understand why iOS printing is still so incredibly bad.  

 

Are you able to use the printer from a Mac on the network?  If so you might try Printopia. I had some limited success with this.  It worked for most printers but not for a Brother label-maker.   It requires that you have a Mac up and running on the Network and then it sends the print job from the iOS device to the Mac and then uses the Mac's print driver to create the print output.  It installs as a System Preferences extension.
