1.) You might try installing the driver from the production system on your
machine for development purposes. There's no need to have the actual
printer connected to be able to use the driver and configure your reports
appropriately.
2.) Access has a way of operating with reports that has been around since
version 1, where if a report is previewed and the user selects a new
printer, then the report will ALWAYS revert to that printer's default paper
and layout settings. So, its important that when you set to use a specific
printer, that you have the proper printer driver installed, and secondly,
that your app manage printer settings rather than allowing the user to
select the printer from print preview. To limit the selection of a printer,
you can create custom tool bars and menus that you can link to a report
which eliminate the "Print..." option. Then add a button to your form or
menu to print the report.

Application: Access 2003 adp running on Windows XP pro.
I have reports that print on a Japanese postcard, 8.5x11, and 11x17 paper.
The printer is a networked HP5100tn with 3 trays configured for the above
paper sizes.
I needed to modify the Japanese postcard and 11x17 reports, on my
development system, that does not have the correct printer driver. When I
am
ready to distribute the adp, I copy it to a production machine, and change
the "Specific" printer settings for the reports. This has worked well,
until
this past month.
Now, the reports RANDOMLY print on the printer's default paper size of
8.5x11.
I recreated the adp, compacted & repaired, redid the "Specific" printer
settings to no avail.
The printer driver has been rechecked, and so have the
settings...everything
appears to be fine. There have been no changes to the network.
Older versions of the same adp print correctly every time.
Suggestions, hints, clues, insights??
