FileMaker won't print under classic

Expand Post »
I just downloaded a trial FM Pro 6 for classic on my powerbook with os x and classic in background. When I try to print, I get a message saying"print software such as imagewriter needs to be installed". I have an Epson SW connected, printing fine with normal os x apps. Please help.

Re: FileMaker won't print under classic

You have to set up printing in Classic via the Chooser (from inside Classic). It doesn't automagically use the OS X implementation of Print Center.

Re: FileMaker won't print under classic

Hello,

Yep, that is it... the printer needs to be setup for OS 9. You might find it easier to reboot your laptop as an OS 9 box (instead of running it as Classic) and setup your printers that way. Then reboot into X and verify that it is working.
