Report Going to Wrong Printer

[dennis g]

Have a database running off a network drive. When a user in KC runs one of three reports, they print to her network printer, but when they run the other two reports, they print here in Topeka to our network printer. There is no way for this to happen in Access, right? But it does. I'm wondering if it because I have the menu bar hidden. When the user asks for the report, it comes up in print preview mode, and possibly is defaulted to the printer here (it was designed here). The user cannot change the printer because the printer options box is inaccessible???
Does this make any sense?

Thanks, Pat. I'll give it a try.

Print Dialog?

You mention print dialog in your answer for default printer, but where is that exactly? Printer setup???

Anyway..

To specify a network printer as default for everyone???

Printing,

Many people in my department use my access front end to print box labels and shipping lables, using 2 different printers.

Many people are having problems with the print dialog boxes and in most cases, can't set the properties correctly, wasting time, paper, and my time. So I was hoping that if the report selected a default network printer by default, this problem might get solved. Also it would save the hastle of selecting 2 different printers for the 2 different reports.

And sometimes I run into the problem wher even if the default printer on the PC is set to the correct printer.
