Photo Mechanic prints to the default printer.  So just set the default printer in Vista.  When you switch back to Photo Mechanic, hold down the Shift key as you choose the Print command and the Page Setup will be acquired from your new default printer.

HTH,

OK, I was wondering because PM doesnt printed to my default printer.. so, I deleted the default printer.
Next time I press shift...


But this says to me, that PM needs very extensive  improofment on its printing  capability!  (-> my contact sheet thread)

why does PM not just use the pinting subsystem of the OS (in my case, windows), with that we can select the printer like with all other applications

Of course PM uses the printing subsystem of the OS.  It couldn't print without it.
