Choosing printers
« on: March 02, 2009, 02:16:49 PM »
I am on a Vista Business 64 bit machine with 16 GB of RAM and version 4.6. I have previously been on a Mac and XP machines with for several years with PM. On this new box, I can't select a printer. We have 5 printers in the office and PM only sees the black and white laser. There is no dialog box in page set up or anywhere else that I can find to change printers and I know I have done this on other machines and with multiple printers. Am I missing something or is there a problem with my install?

Thanks,

Don

Don,

PM Prints on the default printer.  So quit PM, set your default printer to the one you want to print to.  Then start up PM and hold down the Shift key while you choose Page Setup from the File menu.  PM will now remember that printer.  You can then go back and choose a different default printer.

HTH,

Thanks, that did it. I had set the default printer thinking that would do it but didn't know to hold the shift key with page set up. I sure thought I had chosen different printers inside page set up in the past.

thanks again for your help
