Are you running Show Leopard on your Mac? If so, the inability to print from FileMaker 8.5 a known issue:

So you would either need to upgrade FileMaker or downgrade your OS.

The Mac can print to the printer fine, except for one oddity: Filemaker Pro cannot print, and when I hit command P to print the record I need, it...refuses to let me click the Print button. Nothing will make that button press when printing from Filemaker Pro, though it's possible to make a PDF and then print that from Preview.
