Duplex Printing - Default

[JimmyK]

Hi all,

We have developed a database at work and the printing of the report is defaulted to duplex printing.

If I create a new database with nothing in it and go to print properties of a new report, it is fine and only does printing on one side.

We initially thought the problem was that the person who initially developed the application (in another office in the city) had the printer he uses set to duplex printing as default. Our printers (all 3 we have access to in our office) are set to single-sided printing. I had copied all the references and all reports and forms, etc into a new database I created. When I checked the default printing of a report, it was fine and was single-sided. The next time we used it, it was at duplex again.

I came across some information on the MS MSDN site about being able to set duplex, etc via VB. I sent the information to the other developer and he said that it didn't fix it either.

Does anybody have any idea why this would be happening? Is there another way for us to remove duplex printing for these reports? The reason we need to print out each page single-sided is that each page is an application and having it back to back is not acceptable.

The MSDN information I am referring to is:

Thanks,

Jimmy,

Did you ever find the solution to this duplex? I actually need to have all my reports overwrite the printer options to duplex instead of single-sided. When I print the report to my printer it works fine however, when other's try printing reports they get single-sided prints.

If your solution was a VB code, where was the code? & by chance would you share the VB code with me? I've tried everything it seems & nothing is forcing the duplex printing on other printers.

thank you in advance!

have you tried
page set up change the printer from the default and reselcted as a name printer and change the setting in Access page set up rather than coding,from memory thats all I did; so you could have report one double side and another report single sided ; (I sure this is how i did it)

When using the duplex printer default setting for black & white laser printers, the cost is 4 cents per page, much less than the old rates:
A one-page document will cost 5 cents.
A two-page document, printed on both sides of a sheet of paper, will cost 8 cents.
A three-page document, printed on three sides and using two sheets of paper, will cost 12 cents.
