Ok, so here is the situation.

There are 2 printers, printer A in the users area, their default printer.
Printer B is across the office, the user never uses it, in fact its not even installed on her system. The IP address is 1 less than printer A. (ie *.*.*.45 and *.*.*.46

In MS access, when user tries to print out a report to printer A (Their default printer) it prints out to printer B.

I can print to printer A from any other application, and it works fine. A windows test page also prints to printer A fine.

I've removed and re added the printer, and got the same results.

Edit: Ok, the report wants to default to this printer for some reason. But it doesn't do it for me, but it prints to Printer B by default for 2 other users.

Any ideas? I am totally confused here.

Found some more information:

If printer B is not installed on a users system, the report will print to that printer no matter what.

If printer B IS installed on a users system, when they go to print the report, it defaults to that printer. The user can then change the printer to the correct one, and it will print fine.
