Crestline, CA, July 25, 2011 -- Dracoventions announces the immediate
availability of 2empowerFM Hands-Free Printer v2.5 for FileMaker Pro.


This release adds the ability to control the two-sided printing option on
Macintosh and also adds OS X 10.7 Lion compatibility.


The rest of the 2empowerFM plug-in family has also been tested to be Lion
compatible.



_*About Hands-Free Printer*_


Hands-Free Printer is the world's only FileMaker printer plug-in that can
set every printer option in the Windows Print and Print Setup dialog
independently along with similar options in the Mac OS X print dialog.


Mark Anderson of Floristware, who helped beta test the plug-in, says,
"Earlier today I mentioned a "cross-platform printer control" plugin to a
FileMaker developer and he freaked out. I believe a lot of people need this
and have just given up on hoping for it."


2empowerFM Hands-Free Printer is like a robot that clicks and types options
in the Print dialog faster than the eye can see. That means it works with
almost any printer, allowing you to:


- Open the Print dialog, select your printer, set individual printer
options, then print - all from a script with no user interaction required.


- Allow users to choose a few print options from a FileMaker layout, then
let Hands-Free Printer take care of the rest.


- Guide users through complex print jobs where they are instructed to put in
different types of paper or envelopes, then click a button to continue
printing.


- Set each printer option independently, not as a group like with
FileMaker's "restore print settings" feature. A few independent settings
can replace dozens or even hundreds of "restore print settings" steps.


- Your system's default printer and default printer settings are never
changed.


- No special system software or settings are required. There is no need to
turn on "access for assistive devices" on Macintosh and no Applescript or
VBScript is used.



_*OS X Tiger*_


Although Hands-Free Printer does not currently support OS X 10.4 (Tiger), it
does support FileMaker all the way back to 7. If you are interested in
Tiger support, please click http://tigerhfp.2empowerFM.com
