Legacy error message - windows printer not defined?

Has anyone recently seen the Legacy error message "no reports can be printed until a windows printer is defined" ? What's up with that? I have a couple of printers defined and can print from other apps, just not Legacy. I saw some complaints from 2009 on the forum but nothing more recent and nothing very helpful.

I just used Search Internet to search FindAGrave.

I just used Search Internet to search Findagrave for my great grandmother.  Nice tool but it doesn't include married female's married name, only maiden so is almost guaranteed to fail. Is there a way to get Legacy to use FAG's 'include maiden name' checkbox?

My use of Legacy and social media (new to this LVUG community).

I joined LVUG some time ago (2 Years?) and have been using Legacy much longer than that. Current version is Legacy 8.0 deluxe. I'm a firm believer in 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' so seldom upgrade to new versions. I 'inherited' a freebie copy along with a database of one line of my family back in the early 2000's and switched from whatever I was using at the time (something free downloaded from the internet I'm sure!). The initial database was my Pott{i,e}nger line which has been pretty thoroughly researched for many years by many genealogists both amateur and professional so I didn't bother to do much with that other than update it with my own immediate family. When I retired in 2003 I decided to learn who all my great grandparents were (I knew most but not all and grew up down the street from two). I've learned that and much much more. We're currently working on my LEE line (no, not THOSE Lees!) and that has been a REAL adventure...

I got this idea for using the Relationship Report in Legacy.

I got this idea for using the Relationship Report in Legacy from a Tuesday Tip.  Thanks for pointing it out.  It was fun doing it! Originally shared by Hardy Pottinger I've got a lot of relatives! Check out my latest blog post at Digging Up Relatives to see just how many!  http://wp.me/p1RfqB-9D  Oh, and if any of these names sound familiar, get in touch with me, we might be related!
