Printing problem

[thhakala]

The problem is: Printing a form results the form to be printed to a wrong printer. I am not a newbie at printing, yes I have selected the right printer in the print -menu.

The "wrong" printer isn't even installed on this computer.

Trying to print from the file-menu or with DoCmd.PrintOut - always the wrong printer. When printing reports the correct printer is used..

The "wrong" printer where the forms are printed to is located 200m from here - sheesh...

Anyone have any suggestions? Does each form have some hidden "default printer" ? Ofcourse, this could be a non-Access-related problem...

That's all for now, folks. Thanks.

The general concensus is not to print forms as they are not optomized for printing, this may be the problem.

As with any program, the printer set-up is defaulted to any printer set up within the actual computer. Your problem seems to be from an internal set-up. Try going into the page set-up and see if another printer has been set as the Default printer for this form/report only through the Page Tab.

Thank you, Carol and Rich.

In the page setup, I had "Use spesific printer" and my own printer chosen there. Changing this into "Use default printer" solved the problem. I have no idea why choosing a spesific printer doesn't work. I am using Access 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1).

This must be a bug in Access, since I'm not an idiot.
