Does anyone know how to print a page from a projector that contains only textfields in a correct manner, also diplaying a printer settings box when you click a print button.
What's happening is throughout the movie all the info the user is inputing is being duplicated to one page which they will print at the end.

movie is 800x600 if that makes a difference.
 
Check the PrintoMatic Xtra, it is one of the Xtras partners that appears on the Director CD (at least 7.0 an 8.0 to my knowledge). They have a free trial version of their printing Xtra that you can install in your Xtras folder within the Director program folder. It has limited capability compared to the full PrintoMatic Xtra, but it may allow you to do what you want without buying the full licensed Xtra. The trial version at least allows you to print text field members with print button that looks like this

on mouseDown
print member "field text"
end

As far as printing dialog boxes though, I am not sure.
