Margins are 5mm all round (top, bottom, left, right) and paper size is
Letter on a Portrait orientation. Should I be setting the margins in
the open event of me report?
That's pretty small. Most of the printers in my company would not support
those so I suspect neither does the printer that your user has. The
important one is the bottom margin (right margin for landscape). Many
inkjet printers won't go much closer than a half inch to the edge on that
margin.
This has nothing to do with how you set them. If my default printer has a
minimum margin of 1/2 inch and you send me a file containing a report with a
smaller margin than that then it will not work. Access will always honor
the minimum/maximum margin settings of the printer driver doing the printing
so you have to design your reports so that they work on whatever printers
you need to use your app.
1/2 inch all the way around is "failry" safe, but I usually go for 0.6 or
0.7 on the bottom margin just to allow a bit more cushion.
