GnuCash 2.2.9, Build r17949M on 2009-09--8
Mac OS X 10.5.8
I'm just starting to learn GnuCash, and I'm not migrating from anything
except pencil and paper. LOL
I couldn't find any info in the archives on printing issues with OS X, but
maybe I looked in the wrong place.
GnuCash loaded just fine, but I wanted to print some reports before entering
any data to see what they looked like. When I open the Print Report menu,
there are no printers listed. I have 2 USB and one network printer
installed. Is this normal, which seemingly means I can't select a printer
to use, or did something go wrong during installation?
I can export a web page, but that's got a small bug apparently. The export
function does *not* automatically add the .html file extension to the file
name. As a result, when you open the report, you get a blank window in your
browser. And Macs do not automatically add file extensions to filenames.
Normal, or did I miss something here?
I did discover that if I manually add the extension to the file name, the
data does show in the web browser. So I can get the report printed,
although I am not pleased about having to go this route to get the data
out. I want my computer to do this mundane work of printing. LOL
