FileMaker won't print under classic

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.

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.

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.
