Printing via Apple print dialog

Post by JohnWasilewski »

When I print a document, the first thing that appears is the TM print dialog. If I then select the
Apple print dialog [System]
selected as the print device, TM switches to the system print dialog, as expected, but there's a catch. It fails to pass to the system print dialog the settings that were pre-selected in the TM print dialog. It's easy not to notice that and click 'Print', only to find the print is not delivered as intended. For example, I've just printed 20 copies of a one-page document, only to find them printed on only 10 pages, but on both sides!

If the developers' intention was to enable users to select the system print dialog as an alternative to the TM print dialog rather than as a follow-on from it, and for this to ignore all TM print settings, it would be useful to have a warning displayed on the TM print dialog to say "Choosing Apple print dialog [System] ignores all TM dialog settings."

In our next service pack, some options from our print dialog will be hidden/disabled
