Printing troubleshooting techniques (Mac OS)
If you’re having trouble printing from FileMaker Pro on Mac OS, try the following suggestions:
 •
Turn the printer off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it on again.
 •
Try printing from another application. If you can’t print from other applications, you may have a problem with how the printer is set up in Mac OS.
 •
Create a new FileMaker Pro file and try to print from the new file. If you can print from one FileMaker Pro file but not another, create a new layout in the original file or experiment with different fonts.
 •
Your printer driver software might be corrupt or out of date. See the documentation that came with your computer or printer for how to reinstall the printer driver. To get printer driver updates, contact Apple Inc. or your printer manufacturer.
 •
For further suggestions on solving printing problems, also see the documentation for your printer, computer and operating system.
