Re: FM9 and Printing

Thank you, the REG file was something new to me, but I get the point.... and
your also righ about Productive Computing... when I first start look to
switch from 6 to 8.5, the PC Change printer was not supported by FM7 and
up... now it is, but will require a new licence!! you upgrade from side, and
now 1000$ of dollars are require to upgrade all those 3rd party plug-ins !!

But I have done some testing, correct me if i'm wrong, but in FM8.5, the
print setup can save printer name and also paper size.... from a script I
can record and select manually "specify page setup" this do the same thing
as the plugin do ?!?!

Thank you

JF

There is a printer plugin at <http://www.myfmbutler.com/index.lasso?p=367>

Also, the webpage for ChangePrinter says it's compatible with 9
<https://www.productive.cc/pci_cart/FMPro?-DB=PCSC_Products.FP5&-Format=catalog.htm&-Lay=CGI&ID_No=24&-Find>

Or you (on Mac) use an AppleScript. Or on Windows, use a Send Event
script step that calls a local .reg file. For example, I change to a PDF
printer in 6.0 with a .reg file called 'Print2pdf.reg' with the following
two lines in it. Of course, the registry location is going to be
different for 9.0:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro\6.0\Preferences]
"Printer"="Adobe PDF,winspool,Desktop\\*.pdf"

In previous version FM can't recall printer, only the setup pages, found
set etc etc, I have 10 network printers that I use and I script to print
and I don't want the user to select himself the printer, and
ChangePrinter is not compatible with 8.5 and 9 ?!?!
