San Diego, CA -  July 21, 2011 - Productive Computing, Inc. a Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance, announces the release of the Change Printer v4 plug-in for FileMaker Pro®.  The Change Printer plug-in provides FileMaker® Pro the power to automatically change printer drivers within your scripts.  It can be used to coordinate large and complex print procedures and switch between various types of printers/drivers such as: inkjet, laser, label, and PDF.

New Features:
- Enhanced error trapping method using the new PCCC_GetLastError( Type ) function. Most plug-in functions now return the !!ERROR!! string in the event of an error or a 0 for a success. Immediately after an error occurs, please call the PCCC_GetLastError function to obtain a textual or numerical description of the error. If upgrading from the previous versions, please note that you will need to change your scripts to accommodate for the new method of error trapping.

- Added optCopies parameter to PCCC_Change Printer function. This parameter determines the number of copies the job will print and is available on both Mac and Windows platforms.

- Enabled the optPause parameter of the PCCC_ChangePrinter function to work on both Windows and Mac. This parameter allows the user to determine how long the print dialog will be displayed before the print job proceeds.
