These problems don't have anything to do with Mac OS 8.5.x, as they can also appear in OS 8.1 or even System 7. FMP 4 doesn't appear to have the same problems. There are also issues between FMP 3 (and earlier), andvarious Epson printer drivers (especially the Stylus Color 7xx and 8xx series drivers). Usually, this is associated with HP printer drivers.

The problems I've been hearing about have to do with print jobs that simply don't print. None of the reports I've seen have anything to do with crashing. He confirmed that they have had reports of this, but adds: We asked Darren Terry (of FileMaker Technical Support) for further information. Two sided tickets are a bit trickier.Previously, we reported on a possible printing problem with pre-4.0 versions of FileMaker Pro and Mac OS 8.5.x. You can even do two rolls of tickets if your using 12 x 18 sheets by flipping the sheet and doing one row along the top and one along the bottom on reverse side. Makes it easier to go back if you have a problem. Just save each time before sending to printer and name the file with what the tickets are. Usually between 25 to 100 at a time works good depending on artwork file size. To avoid having to do 1000 pages just send the tickets in groups. Works great for small quantities, we have done up to 1000+ tickets and once you do it once or twice it is a snap to set up.

0001 to 0099 so it doesn't add two "0's" to the front of 100 and you get 00100 when you want 0100. For example you would do a new page start after number 99. You then can use the page start options to add to the numbers and keep the same number of total numbers. You can also have two sets of numbers for perforated ticket. Then set up the shell on the master page and place your auto page number where you want your numbers. You just make your pages the same size as the ticket with crops and bleeds. We use the auto page numbering trick here, the trick is to do it as spreads. Re: Best way to do sequential numbering for raffle tickets, etc.
