Aloha question - What happened to "Output to Screen"?

In Reports/Reprints, we've always had the ability to Output to Screen, making searches through many hundreds of tickets for a specific item pretty easy. The option still appears, but even when selected, when a user tries to create a report, they are presented with the "Select Printer" dialog. Trying to explain how to create a PDF, then search it, is cumbersome. Has the "Output to Screen" functionality been truncated?

Thanks!
 
Go to reprint reprots, you can change it there. Then close Aloha and reopem. It will now open on screen and not ask for printer

Sorry for the delayed response on this one. I read this as go to Reports/Aloha POS/Reprints, then change it under File/Settings/Output To... (just like we've done for years), then close and reopen AM and the change would "stick". Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem - no matter whether I restart AM or not, it is always asking me what printer I want to send it to, and not coming up on the screen. My workaround thus far has been to print it as a PDF, but that gets cumbersome when I am looking for a single item over multiple days of sales. Amy other thoughts?

Thanks!
