Thanks, looks like that's what's happening. I am really loath to upgrade to Filemaker 11, since they keep moving away from what I want the program to be. And I hate their moving the side bar to the top, because it's "more like Microsoft® Office®."

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.
