A friend of mine has used Lotus release 5 for the past 10 years - Now that he got a new pc without Windows 95, the macro print function is not working he gets the error - UNABLE TO ACCESS OUTPUT DEVICE - It seems like a print driver problem - does anyone know of a fix? He loves the macro language of Lotus and doesn't want to change..The same macro works when he uses release 9 on the same pc. His operating system is Windows XP home and he is tring to print to a Panansonic pin fed printer.

 
The macro print function works. It's the print-to-file that doesn't...right?

If so, you have two choices: install a print-file driver, or build your own macro (add-in) that can be invoked from any file.

If you're interested in the latter, let me have your email address and I'll send you the file.
 
e-mail me at dbfry_1503@hotmail.com - The print macro used to send a selected part of the spreadsheet directly to the printer, I don't know if it used a temp file to achieve the printing. Any way I can get it to print would be great as long as it uses the macro as the driving force. Thanks
 
Can you please inform me how were you able to resolve printing into a file. Your help will be highly appreciated.
