Hello Sven I had similar troubles with different printer combinations. CFTW uses only the default printer as set at the time you enter CFTW. I f I want to use a particular printer I set it as default (Start/Settings/Printers..... set PDF Writer as default) then start CFTW. After exiting CFTW, change the default back to your preferred. It is all about remembering to do it before you start CFTW David Voss Sven Strand wrote > I have been using Cumberland Family Tree for several years and I am > still very satisfied with the program.

Ira The ability to choose which printer to use, at the time of printing within CFTW itself, would be a very useful feature for me, too. Maybe this could go on your list for consideration for a future release? Better still would be to be able to have this facility, plus the facility to be able to define a default printer *just for CFTW* i.e. independently of the main Windows default printer setting. I rarely use PDF Writer apart from with CFTW, and having CFTW defaulting to PDF Writer, and all my other programs defaulting to my main Windows printer, would be the perfect combination.

G'day , > want to use a particular printer I set it as default > (Start/Settings/Printers..... set PDF Writer as default) then start > CFTW. Agree - the penny has just dropped. I often wish to produce PDF files and have to do just that. Mike CALDER http://members.optusnet.com.au/mikecalder/

Hello David, Many thanks to you and all other mailers for your good piece of advice. I knew how to set the printers, but i did not know that I had to restart my computer or to load CFTW adster the change. No my problem in this respect is solved.
