Printing Error OSX RELEASE LiveCode 6.7 DP5

[Paul Hibbert]

Terence,

I can confirm this, it's the same in LC 7.0 (dp7) too.

One other problem I noticed is that the page orientation doesn't work in LC 6.7 or LC 7.0

I added a field to check the printRotated status.

This script works fine in LC 6.6.2, but not in LC 6.7 or LC 7.0

on mouseUp
   put the printRotated into fld 1
     answer page setup as sheet
     if the result = "cancel" then
        exit mouseUp
     end if
   put cr & the printRotated after fld 1
     answer printer as sheet
     if the result = "cancel" then
        exit mouseUp
     end if
     print this card
end mouseUp

Are you going to report this as a bug?

Paul
