To set up a printer on Eclipse, first make sure the printer is connected to your machine. Once you have done this proceed through the following steps.

If you do not want to print to a physical printer, you can set Eclipse to print straight to PDF or your local adobe application by following this guide: Eclipse Report Printing workarounds - print to PDF

 

  1. Login to AppController, the window where you would normally launch Eclipse

2. Select File > Printers

3. In the window that appears, highlight your printer from the list and click the Set Default button to set it as the default printer. Eclipse should now use this printer when asked to print any documents or reports.

 

4. If your printer is not on the list please click the Add button to find your printer. Highlight your printer and then click Add again. Then go back to Step 3.

 

5. Testing printing a page in Eclipse by clicking the Test Page button.

6. If it does not work, log out of AppController/Go-Global via the File > Sign Out menu, then log back in. Eclipse should now pick up the default printer that you set.

If you are still having issues printing, try the following:

  • Saving and printing the document from your machine. If the document doesn't print, check your printer setup on your machine.

  • Reinstall the AppController client here Installing Eclipse Software and Login. Make sure to uninstall your current version first so the latest version is installed.

  • Set your printer to print directly to the Preview PDF printer. This will print directly to your local PDF viewer on your machine. See the guide here: Eclipse Report Printing workarounds - print to PDF
