Question

Why am I not being given the option to select a printer, when printing anything in Parts?

Where you get the below:

But then don't get the option of a selecting the printer:

Answer

This is due to a parameter being set so it will just default to your PC's default printer.

This parameter is set in:

Parts > Parameters > Department Details > Dept Details 2

Default Printer

If this parameter is ticked the Part module will just automatically print to your default printer, without giving you the option to select a printer.

If this option is left un-ticked, then you will get the pop-up for a printer selector and you can select which printer you wish to print from.
