Paul,
I think I’ve figured out how to make the settings stick and with the correct
dimensions:
There is some poor dialogue box design from Apple involved so please be patient
while I try to explain.
Firstly open a Page Setup Dialogue Box.
There is a pop up menu at the top titled Settings which has 2 items in it.
1. Page Attributes
2. Save as Default
Select all the settings you require:
Orientation
Paper Size
Scale
and choose your printer in Format For:
DO NOT PRESS OK YET
Now go to the popup menu titled Settings and select “Save as Default”
Now Press OK.
You can now quit LiveCode.
Reopen LiveCode and print using something like:
on mouseUp
answer printer as sheet
if the result = "cancel" then
exit mouseUp
end if
send "printChart" to group "generalChart"
end mouseUp
I have found that LC/Printer has maintained it’s settings from the previous
session.
I suspect that using the Page Setup Dialogue Box to apply settings to different
printers will result in those being applied if you select a different printer
in the answer printer dialogue box.
Hope this helps
Terry
